Artist Statement:
Original artwork by Valerie X.
Armstrong offers views of the
world as seen through the eyes
of the artist. Mixed media
pictorial collage is a major
means of expression along with
ceramic tile mosaics and
photography. Many of the works
have a tropical theme as the
artist is from Florida and has
spent time in the Bahamas.
Another theme involves black
figures representing all
humanity, captured in many
situations of daily life.
There is simplicity of line,
brightness of color,
visual impact, and a dash of
humor in these works which
make them seem instantly
familiar to the viewer.

| Your Personal Biography |
ABOUT ME: Growing up in Central and South Florida with time spent in the Bahamas gives my work it's tropical flavor. Starting as an oil painter in my mother's footsteps, I was constantly on the lookout for another medium of expression. My introduction into the world of Interior Decor with it's luxurious fabrics, exciting wall coverings, smooth colorful ceramic tiles and fragrant natural woods stimulated my imagination. My love of the environment and abhorrence of waste were the motivating factors in my use of generally discarded designer sample books and design project leftovers in my artistic endeavors. The black figures seen throughout my works represent all human beings. The mostly faceless, sometimes genderless figures are captured for the moment in the midst of various activities and situations. I have been fortunate to have won several awards for my work and to have had it displayed in several galleries. I currently own a business in Orlando, Florida specializing in Original Art and Interior Deco |
