Valerie Armstrong: The Mind’s Eye exhibition at Artspace Woodbridge

Artworks member Valerie Armstrong joins two former exhibitors with Artworks, ceramicist Ann Lee and painter Colin Slee, for their third year of ‘The Mind’s Eye’ at Artspace Woodbridge. The exhibition is open daily 10am-5pm from Friday 19th July to Wednesday 24th July 2024.

Valerie creates her paintings intuitively, building up layers of information in paint, collage, glaze, and mixed media, strongly informed by a past career as an art therapist as she explores the stories within dreams and memories:

“My paintings begin with spontaneous play or experimentation, using collage, mark making and textures; as the painting begins to reveal itself, the layering process becomes like a dance. Gradually the history below is revealed as a mysterious suggestion of what might be and what might have been. Finally, as the process nears completion, the pace slows, colours become more refined and the marks, more thoughtful. With music as my muse, I allow the subconscious to direct, and visual stories to emerge; sometimes surprisingly, always truthfully.”
