Valerie Vincent

Valerie Vincent was born in Belfast and has lived in Belgium, Zaïre and France. Her teacher in Paris inspired her to become an artist.

Starting with pen and pencil drawings, then on to acrylics Valerie's painting has become a vehicle for her to express a sense of freedom. Valerie's paintings move beyond the real world through the colours and brush strokes.

She often plays with texture and tone so that the scene becomes highlighted or even aged thus giving the painting a timeless feeling.
