Patricia Valens
After dedicating many years to raising my family and teaching art to middle and high school students in New York’s scenic Hudson Valley, I am now embracing the opportunity to fully nurture my own artistic journey. Primarily working in oils, I am deeply drawn to painting from life, with a particular focus on en plein air techniques. Through this approach, I aim to capture the essence of a moment and place, creating a connection that I hope resonates with the viewer. I am a strong believer in the power of continuous learning. Each new work is an opportunity to explore, experiment, and deepen my understanding of the medium and the world around me.
