Valerie Collymore
PAL Instructor since 2020
"My hope is for viewers to share my experiences of the magnificent creation surrounding us. To portray this vibrant visual feast, I strive for a painterly impressionist style that is attentive to the in-the-moment character of a scene, its design, color and distinctive light."
— Valerie Collymore
About
Valerie Collymore is a full time oil painting artist who is passionate about the French Impressionist Tradition. She paints in this style, exhibits her work in galleries and prestigious national juried shows, and teaches the science behind art and techniques of the French Impressionists. She is a sought after oil painting instructor and coach to emerging artists.
Having grown up in the south of France, where many of the original French Impressionists painted, this artist's work brings with it an authenticity gained through the intimate knowledge of the unique landscapes and seascapes of the French Riviera and Provence.
Most works from Valerie's annual solo exhibits in Seattle have found homes with collectors, and her workshops and classes, including those held on the French Riviera or in Provence, regularly sell out.
