Vallee's Fine Art

'For The Love of Creation!'
I have been drawing and painting since I was about 3 (several decades ago).
I sold my first painting at the age of 13.

I'm basically a realist, but enjoy dabbling in various other styles as well.
I have always been fascinated with wildlife and enjoy sculpting, painting or sketching animals of every kind.
I have a Certificate Degree in Production Art, Associate Degree in Liberal Arts
& Bachelor Degrees in Psychology and Sociology from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
I've traveled to fourteen different countries and plan to visit many more.
In Italy, I studied the works of the great Renaissance artists.
All I've ever really wanted to do is art, but until recently have had a wide variety of occupations.
I've climbed telephone poles, made surfboards, deli clerked, taught & performed Mime & Juggling,
did various aspects of video production, worked with people with disabilities, and drove a school bus, to name just a few.
I recently volunteered my time to help found and create A.C.E. Arts Coalition of Erie,
a non-profit arts organization to encourage creativity and advance the Arts in my community.
Now, with my children grown, (my husband and I have 9 kids and 24 grandchildren so far!)
I am able to concentrate on producing artwork
