Pippa Smith is a London-based, self-taught artist celebrated for her bold and expressive still-life paintings. Her work draws on her Hispanic heritage and the strength of the women in her family—particularly her Abuela, whose kitchen inspired many of Pippa’s recurring motifs: seafood, traditional ceramics, and blue and white tiles. Through her vibrant colours and joyful compositions, she reclaims the domestic space as a site of beauty, and cultural memory.

With an MA in History of Art from Edinburgh University, Pippa began her career as an art dealer before turning to painting full-time during the 2020 lockdown. Her practice spans acrylics, oil pastels, and ink, blending traditional still-life subjects with a fresh, modern sensibility.

She has exhibited across the UK and internationally, including The Other Art Fair (London), The Alwani Exhibit (Gibraltar), and Art for Youth at Mall Galleries. She was also the official art partner for the Sicilian Food and Music Festival in Marzamemi. Whether evoking the warmth of a coastal villa or the intimacy of a kitchen table, Pippa’s work brings a radiant, feminine energy into every space.
