at night be a work of art? It can if it's made by Val Smith. How's this for a one-of-a-kind way self-portrait!It's no surprise that among honours she's won are accolades from the Canadian Quilters' Association.
One of my favourites, this wheel (called 'An Eye for Colour')
demonstrates her skill in manipulating colour. With its amazing attention to detail, this piece is exemplary of all of Val's work. You can see this from this close-up of one segment of the circle.
Beyond treating both abstractions and the whimsical, she's not afraid of taking on the political, as in this final piece, the 'pine beetle stamp'. While it's great to have the chance to see a private show of her work, I look forward to seeing a batch of her work in a gallery.
