Valerie's Books
Art has always been a big part of my life but it wasn't until 1998 that I began to work at it seriously. Since then my paintings have been shown in over 50 exhibitions throughout Canada and have been recognized with various awards. Recently, the Ontario Government selected one of my paintings for the Government of Ontario Art Collection.
The first professional artist designation I obtained was in 2007 with the Pastel Artists of Canada signature membership (PAC). I was granted membership in The Ontario Society of Artists (OSA) in 2008 and was awarded with the Master Pastelist designation (MPAC) in 2012.
