Valerie Halliwell Artist

Welcome to my website

'My work is a jumble of thoughts and memories.
My paintings are often autobiographical and usually cathartic.'

I always think that each person’s own experience of life has a unique quality.
I try to capture this in my work -
“A sort of diary”.
Recordings ... Of feelings, energies, dreams, sensations, torments and pain.
Layer upon layer, digging beneath the surface.
An inner world.
Exploring. A mind trip of today ... Of every day.
Past and present. Sometimes I wonder
I question
“Paint the post modern world”
As we see it as we know it
Externally
Methodically record the information that is in front of me
Use the latest technology
Be part of the modern trends
Then..
I stop I think I realize
I already Do!

Stress, Angst, Pollution of this modern world
Are already there
In my work.
Just in another language. Since time began.
But new today - This very moment.
