About the artist: Jennifer Smith attends the Community Art Project in Darlington, a council-funded project for adults with learning disabilities, and has done so for many years. In her own words: "I like doing art. It is relaxing and it keeps my mind occupied. I like trying different art techniques and I have done painting, drawing, collage, monoprinting, screenprinting, lino-cuts, clay modelling, video animation and papier mache. I get ideas from all kinds of places including programmes on television, magazines, galleries and art books. I like looking at other artists work and one of my favourite artists is Van Gogh. I like my art works to be shown in exhibitions so that people can see them and hopefully they might think they are really good." In addition to numerous Community Art Project exhibitions, her work has been included in: 'The Time is Now', Glasgow 2021; and 'Shelter', Outside In National Open, New Art Gallery Walsall 2025.
