About Valerie Jobes

I have always lived in the countryside and felt connected with nature and the changing seasons. I find my inspiration from the landscape when I am out walking, especially when the weather is unpredictable and atmospheric. Favourite locations are Devon, especially Dartmoor, Cornwall and Cumbria.
I use acrylic paints and acrylic ink with a brush and palette knife and love creating texture with scraping, stippling and blending using my fingers.
