Natalia Smith is a multidisciplinary artist working primarily in painting. Her work explores themes of identity, relationships, and eco-feminism in an autobiographical manner. She often incorporates natural entities and the figure as the central subject to manifest these ideas.
Natalia has participated in exhibitions in Lethbridge at Casa for her show Mending Relations in 2025, and at the Penny Gallery in the Fluidity exhibition in 2024. She is an Art Studio Major in the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree program at the University of Lethbridge.
