Valerie Giles

Qualicum Beach, British Columbia

My art journey began when I was young. My instructor was an elderly woman who lived on a farm in rural Ontario. Her property inspired many works through those years. I recall a lesson in the very colorful fall when she pointed out that I was lost in the colour of the trees and had forgotten the subject, an old shed. To this day I deal with this. Today I paint predominantly in oil and occasionally acrylics.
I operated my own Graphic Design company for 23 years and instructed design and colour theory at BCIT for the Faculty of New Media.
Currently, I am the president of the Arrowsmith Chapter of the FCA.
“I’ve been inspired by colour all my life. The vibrancies, the energies, the moods and the harmonies that colour creates ‘talk to me’.” In all my paintings I try to capture this, creating a visual story through paint strokes, colour combinations and balance.
