Artist Statement:
Jean Smith is primarily known
as a woman of many words in
the acclaimed literary rock
duo Mecca Normal, and as the
author of three novels. Jean
grew up in a house with two
with painters for parents,
where she, as a matter of
course, developed a keen
visual sense. Painting has
remained an integral component
in her creative life, a
word-free zone providing
balance to her expressive
nature. Recent themes in
Jean's painting include
alcoholism, how women and
girls perceive themselves, and
Native land claims issues, but
more often than not, her art
is about a physical world of
light, colour, and
composition. Jean maintains
that having penned political
song lyrics for almost 20
years, it is, for her, a
political act to defy
expectations and create
beautiful paintings devoid of
overt meaning. Jean's artwork
has been used on book covers,
in zines and magazines, and on
more than twenty-five CD and
7" covers.
