Val Emmerson at the 'Gallery Upstairs'


 

Always drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, going to art School was a bit of a dream.

After a mostly enjoyable, eventful career in nursing, the dream did happen , my treat in life, I called it. I was accepted on a Foundation Course at Hornsey, then onto Farnham WSCAD to a Degree course in Textiles, which were great years, working as a nurse in holidays and at weekends to finance myself. During the course I became a wife and a mother, very busy years.

Spent 10 years in Hong Kong. There I did Art work for the Samaritans, which was more graphic and another direction for me.

I have always loved the textile side of my education and never entirely stopped painting, drawing, looking.

Today I am enjoying experimenting with different media on varying surfaces.

It feels like another journey, full of suprises.
