About Valerie
Valerie Craig has drawn and painted nearly all her life. Her oil and watercolor paintings are suffused with soft light and convey a sensitive approach. Craig's subject matter is well-rounded and includes still-life, landscapes and street scenes.Valerie Craig is a self-taught artist, with more than twenty years in the field to date. Her in-depth study has been enhanced by workshops with noted artists (Carolyn Garawecki, Robert Wade), and additional studies with Michael Doyle. As most artists, Craig continues to be a student of art, always reaching for a higher level of excellence. Since leaving her lengthy career in nursing administration, Craig has been able to devote more time to her passion for painting and her love of the outdoors. She feels that her best expressions happen when she is on location, painting quickly and capturing the essence of a subject or the mood of a time and place. She finds that capturing true color, light and atmosphere of a subject is best done through direct observation. Craig paints en plein air whenever she can, then often completes larger canvasses in the studio. Her paintings reflect her connection to the local Pennsylvania countryside as well as the rural farms and beaches in southern New Jersey. Craig has traveled in Europe and within the United States, seeking inspiration and opportunities to paint in the field. Craig's work can be found in numerous private and corporate collections. Her paintings have frequently been chosen for greeting cards and most recently a book cover. She is represented in Philadelphia by Forster's Framing, The Village Art Gallery and The Tyme Gallery. |
