Day 137:Valerie Galloway

Artist Statement

My work is feminine and romantic, with a retro sensibility, a world of it’s own.  The women in my paintings have a mysterious, femme fatale quality. Each one tells her own story, somewhere between innocence and naughtiness, with a touch of nostalgia.

Much of my inspiration comes from the 1960’s era, old family photos, and French cinema.

I love the meditative nature of painting, and the challenges of creating new works.
