Rachel Smith

Rachel Smith (ai̓xcemǧa) was born in Nanaimo, B.C., and later moved to Vancouver, where she grew up and still lives.

She takes pride in her mixed heritage. Her father’s family is Kwakwa’kawakw and Wuikinuxv, and her mother’s family is Greek.

Rachel grew up watching her grandfather, father, and uncle carve and paint. Northwest Coast art has always surrounded her, but she began her own formal art career more recently. She apprenticed with her father, Steve Smith, and released her first public works in 2019.

Her art draws on her passion for education, Indigenous rights, and the natural world. She blends traditional formline with contemporary, minimalist design. She values the creative process and aims to carry her family’s artistic tradition forward while expressing her own stories.

Rachel completed an Associate of Arts in Peace and Conflict Studies. She now studies at the University of British Columbia, pursuing a Bachelor of Education with an Indigenous specialization through NITEP, the Indigenous Teacher Education Program.
