In Pursuit of Simplicity and Colour

Val has been fortunate in travelling our world at interesting times. Our beautiful habitat is disappearing and this is why her passion is to paint landscapes, seascapes and streetscapes.

Val had always been interested in art in her early years, but had never thought of an occupation involving an artistic career. It really evolved when she first travelled and loved the beauty of the landscape, and seeing what artists in other countries were accomplishing that inspired her to rekindle her interest in art. However, in these early days of travelling and working, it was difficult to become too involved in settling down to paint. Sometimes it was necessary to paint until all hours of the night.
