About Valerie

Baltimore City
Artist’s Statement  (Valerie A. Smith)
I live and work in Baltimore, Maryland.  I am an artist who loves to create colorful and meaningful surreal artwork.  My work is done primarily in oils on canvas, measuring not less than two feet in any direction.  I also enjoy working with colored inks, water colors, acrylics and color pencils.  In the past year, I created artwork on canvas shoes, cigar box purses, bottle art and artwork on vinyl LP record albums.
