Gallery on 103
Laurinda Smit, besides her day job producing a monthly local news publication with two associates, is also a mandala artist. Using a pointillist painting technique among other styles, she paints vibrant, detailed mandalas which she sells at her studio, Gallery on 103.
Laurinda also fully embodies the Recycle Ethos by transforming anything interesting she can find, discarded along the wayside, into an artwork. Her sculptures consist of papier mâché, wire, rusted metal, or stone. These are installed in all sorts of secret unexpected places in a garden that was, in Laurinda’s words” constructed out of a void, with no plan, using waste material and discarded plants brought to life through nurturing.” The 103 bit of the name “Gallery on 103” refers to the number of steps winding through the property which hides even a mini labyrinth, the curves lined with upended green and brown glass bottles.
