About Val Stokes
New Zealand artist Val Stokes has always loved art and started drawing at age four. After secondary school, favouring art, she worked for an advertising agency; then art free-lancing from home. Later came the opportunity to paint what appealed to her, mastering a variety of mediums; including pastel, acrylic, oils and watercolours.
She is well known for her cat and rustic subjects. Her original paintings are in collections world-wide.
“When I paint I sometimes feel I am in another dimension. I love painting and try to work at it every day…”

… Landscapes, Whales and Angels
After several years in the workaday world, Mark Waller realized that he was meant to be an artist, and completed coursework in art (despite his formal training, he considers himself to be primarily self taught).
He looks at the world differently, and delights in keeping life simple and enjoying the priceless treasures that the world provides. His extraordinary world view translates directly to amazing surrealistic pieces incorporating his mastery of technique and keen powers of observation.
