Hi I’m Valerie and welcome to my multi-faceted world of art and design
|
Painting has always been my passion since childhood. Though I have a Diploma in Interior Design, and have completed several interior design projects, specialising in colour matching, I am largely a self-taught artist. Experimenting and exploring through different mediums and techniques, as well as different colours and “mixing it up” as I fondly call it, I create works of art that lifts up the spirit of the beholder and warms them within.
My subjects are diverse and so are my works of art. Though I offer artistic services mainly by traditional painting methods such as watercolour and oil, I can also create artwork digitally and manipulate artwork on the computer with Sketchbook Pro software. This opens up a huge opportunity to re-design, distort and control existing images into new ones. Combining hand drawn pencil artwork with digital images can create some really fascinating and surreal effects and “paintings”. In my own time - which is rare – I love to experiment with this technique of combining existing photographs with hand painted artwork. I forever experiment with new techniques to portray my subject matter in the most unique way I can… |
