Julianne Smart

A Sydney based printmaker whose practice is focused on linocut, collagraph and increasingly woodblock printing. Her art is concerned with both an Australian aesthetic and conservation.

While holding a degree in Applied Science (Physical Geography) (Hons.) from the University of New South Wales her printmaking training commenced in 2012 via the Hazelhurst Arts Centre in Gymea, Sydney.

This experience has been supplemented by travel interstate, study and residencies in Japan to study Mokuhanga.  

She has exhibited as a member of Southern Printmakers Association, in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales and at the juried International Mokuhanga exhibition in Japan.

Her initiation of an affiliated Overwintering Project exhibition in southern Sydney mixed the desire to communicate the need to conserve habitat with the continued exploration of the art and the craftsmanship of printmaking.
