Beauty After Fire H1224 (2024) 绘画 由 Valerie Woelk

I have always loved to draw and paint, I think it is just a real basic part of my soul. Eyes are always a focal point along with movement and expression. My colors are never straight out of a tube because I love to mix my own strange combinations. Bright colors combined with dramatic lighting is just the way my eyes see it and the inspiration makes my hands want to move. I hope to give anyone seeing my art that feeling of deep inspiration that they can take with them.

I did not pursue art as a career after high school. Instead I began working as a contractor with my family until I moved to Washington in my thirties with two young children. I started over in the northwest making a conscious decision to follow my heart. I studied at the community college to learn graphic design and began seriously painting and drawing every spare moment that I had after work.

It has been a lot of work but I now do freelance work full time with projects for children's books, medical illustrations, and typography assignments for book layouts. Working from my studio in the mountains up north is a little part of heaven for me. Being surrounded by an abundance of natural beauty and wildlife has made my artistic heart very happy.
