About the Artist

Rachel Suzanne Smith's works focuses on highlighting naturally occurring wildflowers in a way for it to be celebrated. Her work consists of both sculptural and functional art jewelry, as well as adornment for the walls with direct references to specific flora encountered by the artist predominantly in her current place of residency at North East Ohio and in her hometown of Cincinnati.

Smith is interested in the concept of Biophilia, that humans have a tendency to seek out and connect with nature. The flowers chosen for Smith's works are often considered weeds when encountered in nature and are typically not curated into garden spaces. By reframing wildflowers in a positive light, the works give the viewer and wearer a moment to connect to nature when interacting with the works.
