Abstract and Conceptual female artist Valerie Ellis draws us into her visual world through her curiosity of the human mind and condition. A psychotherapist for twenty years, Ellis paved an unconventional pathway in making art.
.
Her visual vocabulary is submerged in a very hands on practice of pulling, spreading, crumpling media like paper and paper pulp. Her works deeply connect the viewer to the internal psychology of the human mind and experiences.
.
This episode includes an in-depth conversation with the artist.
