Val has lived in Towcester in Northamptonshire for over 25 years, and has been painting since childhood. She trained in graphic design at Nene College, but now concentrates on her detailed and distinctive watercolours.

Val specialises in combining several images into one painting, often they are related to a theme where the images are alphabetical. She has produced a series featuring towns such as Towcester and Buckingham, South Northamptonshire villages and more general themes such as Music and the British seaside. Her favourite subjects are buildings, architectural details and gardens.

Prints are offered as limited editions, the range available continues to grow.
