Val Stokes- is self taught. Her earlier years were spent submitting drawings to magazines and entering local art competitions. Achieving success at portraying realistic subjects at this early stage determined her future and leaving secondary school she pursued a career in commercial art.Married to her late artist husband --together they catered to the needs of two children and freelancing from home . Gradually as her family grew more independent Val saw the opportunity to pursue her passion for realism starting in earnest around 1973. Her love for art continued to develop for the next four decades -participating and achieving success in numerous art awards, solo and group exhibitions as well as maintaining a strong profile in dealer galleries in New Zealand. She exhibits and works from her own Glen Lynne Gallery in Hamilton. NZ. With Val's work being reproduced regularly on cards and calendars over the last 20 years. she was invited into licensing her art. She paints at every opportunity and has paintings in many countries.Now in her 70s teaching and helping younger people and donating to worthy causes is her way of giving something back for the interesting art life that she enjoys. valzart@ihug.co.nz
