About the Artist

Heather Smith

I am an artist and maker based in Newfoundland and Labrador. I practice printmaking, fibre arts, painting, illustration and metalwork. My work is influenced by the natural beauty of the ocean, the island and the spirit of the people who live here.

Why Dumpling Cove?

My Dad grew up in Twillingate, Newfoundland near a little area called Dumpling Cove.

We’re lucky to still have the land and I love having this connection to our family history and my grandparents (who passed away before I was born).
