Jaime Danielle Smith

Jaime Danielle Smith is a Zimbabwean-born Abstract Expressionist artist based in Stuttgart, Germany. Raised in Harare and Cape Town and shaped by extensive travels across Europe, the UK, and the Caribbean, her work draws on global landscapes, nature, and the human condition. After immigrating to South Africa due to political unrest, she studied Film and Social Anthropology and built a career in film production before spending four years working and traveling on superyachts in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, an experience that continues to influence her sensitivity to light, movement, and environment.

A pivotal period in Berlin marked her transition into a full-time painting career. Largely self-taught, she approaches her practice with curiosity and experimentation, embracing process as central to her work.

The birth of her daughter became a defining catalyst, prompting her to fully commit to her identity as an artist. Her paintings explore the relationship between nature and the psyche, balancing chaos and stillness, emptiness and intensity. Characterized by layered textures, gestural brushwork, and immersive scale, her works invite viewers to feel rather than intellectually interpret, creating spaces for reflection and emotional connection.

She held her first acclaimed solo exhibition, Mapping The Past, in Hamburg in 2022, followed by Happiness Spills Over at the Orangerie in Munich’s Englischer Garten in 2025.

She is an active participant in The Travelling Art Gallery initiative and is exclusively represented in South Africa by The Artists Gallery.
