The Art Gallery of Alberta respectfully acknowledges that we are located in Treaty 6 Territory and Region 4 of the Metis Nation of Alberta. We respect this as the traditional and contemporary land of diverse Indigenous Peoples including the Plains Cree, Woodland Cree, Beaver Cree, Nitsitapi/Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Anishinaabe/Saulteaux/Ojibwe and Dene Peoples. We also acknowledge the many Indigenous, Inuit and Métis people who make Alberta their home today.
SPRUCE GROVE, AB | Born in Regina, Val moved to Alberta at the age of eight. After retiring, she became interested in pursuing art and through numerous workshops and classes, has become proficient in many mediums from watercolor and acrylic, to graphite and sculpture.
Val moves from one medium to the next as her spirit wills her to do so, and she loves experimenting with new techniques. Her acrylic pours are a vivid showcase of expert colour manipulation.
