About the Artist Valerie Lennon's painted world is animated with intense hues which challenge the imagination. Lennon's fondness for travel has provided her with recollection and motivation for much of her art. Visually dynamic are these watercolors and acrylic paintings, which she creates through personal interpretation and emotion.
Recalling the visionary quality and imagination of such artists as Matisse, Dufy, and Derain, Valerie Lennon's tone seems to be culled from these early pictorial sources. The vibrant and intense colors of these 20th century Fauvists are a great source of inspiration to her.
In Valerie Lennon's landscapes and peoplescapes, she utilizes abstraction to illustrate her interpretation. Her landscapes capture the allure of the earth and evoke feelings of warmth and fervor. Color and shapes are combined for the creation of her peoplescapes. Upon viewing these images one may note the jocular overtones that emerge in many of Lennon's paintings.
