Valarie Wolf has been painting for many years, the seeds being sown when she was a child and her Grandmother took her to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art where she was able to view so many incredible works of art at a very young age, which had a huge influence on her.
She has a degree in art, but unfortunately when she went to university, traditional painting methods were not taught, and she was left to her own devices to acquire knowledge and skill in the realm of painting.
Studio painting is exceedingly challenging and enjoyable as well. She is a firm believer that to be a competent artist, one must learn as many facets of painting and drawing as possible.
Oils are her media of choice–she cannot resist the way they blend, and the richness they impart to a painting. A favorite aspect of using these amazing paints is the infinite mixture of colors which can be achieved.
She is a member of various prestigious art groups and associations, and has won several awards for her paintings.
