Artist Statement

I loved lying in the grass looking at clouds as a kid. Those memories and feelings still fill my imagination. Shapes in nature spark my creativity. My artwork is about reclaiming that sense of wonder from looking at nature. Searching for that sensation of aliveness. All the while working from my intuition for authenticity. Ultimately my visual language of shapes, marks and lines bring forth the feelings we all share of joy, beauty, curiosity, and our fundamental humanness.

Bio

Valerie Corvin is an American contemporary abstract painter working in the San Francisco Bay Area. Corvin holds a Master of Arts in Museum Administration and worked for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art as a museum educator. She began painting twenty years ago, studying fine art at the California College of the Arts and with numerous painting instructors from around the country. Drawn to fine arts from her family background, both parents are artists, her dad an international award-winning designer of fine jewelry, and her mother a painter and sculptor.

She is a founder of an arts center in her community, the Piedmont Center for the Arts, and managed its visual arts program for eight years. Promoting and creating opportunities for fellow emerging artists is a passion, and Corvin is the founder and administrator of a juried art competition exhibition now in its eighth year. In addition, Corvin recently concluded a 9-year term as a Trustee of the Board of Directors at the Oakland Museum of California.
