Val spent her childhood in Fraserburgh and now lives in Aberdeen. Painting and drawing has been her lifelong passion and at the end of 2010 she decided to follow her dream and is now a full time artist working with acrylic paint and experimenting with creating textures and mark making in her new work and exhibiting throughout Scotland.
Val’s paintings reflect her connection with the North East of Scotland and her love of its coastline, landscape, weather and seasons.
