 About the Artist Valarie Wolf |
|
Valarie Wolf has made a lifetime commitment to represent the horse beautifully and accurately by incorporating a palette and style reminiscent of the Old Masters, by using subdued, elegant colors of yesteryear, and by slowly building up transparent glazes, achieving paintings which are luminous. She holds a B.A. Degree in Art. Her paintings are known for being exquisitely detailed, even while being viewed close up. This is an important aspect of her painting style. Says Valarie, "When I visit an art gallery and see a painting from across the room, often getting up close, I find that what I thought was a smooth accurate painting is actually rendered quite roughly. Art which retains its detail, smoothness, and skillfull blending of paint while being viewed up close is always the most impressive to me." Valarie's work has been displayed at the Kentucky Horse Park and the Kentucky Derby Museum. This year marks her fourth AAEA show, where the piece "Cloudy Day" sold. Also, Valarie was selected to participate in the Hubbard Museum of the American West's 'American Horses and American Artists' exhibit where all of her pieces were sold. Besides painting in oils, Valarie is proficient in pastels, acrylics, pen & ink and graphite. |
