Born in Philadelphia and growing up in Southern New Jersey. Valerie Pantalone is a painter of landscapes and nature, using oil, acrylic, and watercolors as mediums.  

First, she studied printmaking / books arts as a major at the University of the Art but dropped out. Then, went to Rowan University College of Art and Design for art education but was kicked out of the program. That point she just took a bachelor’s in art minus the education because art education wasn’t in her heart.  It was here at Rowan University that she discovered her love for painting, instead.  

Unfortunately, fibromyalgia took its toll and for five years she had to stop painting, but took up photography as a hobby instead. But now, thanks to a great medical program here in New Jersey, and making a great recovery and is back to her normal self. Since her recovery, she is getting back into painting and building up her body of work.  She is now making a name for herself in the Philadelphia region. 

Right now, she is living just 20 minutes outside of Philadelphia on the Southern New Jersey side .

She does express this emotion of the world.

Very nice, just love the warrior pose. Her clutching her belt and the wind in her hair. The torn and ripped clothing blowing in the wind. Her facial expression: exhausted but ready to go on.

Chuck, I just love your work!

What beautiful work! Just love your work!

This is a very good piece! Nice work!

I just love this one. You painted the cactus so well. I just love the symbiology behind the blooms. It really does remind me of that area.

Very nice piece, Ingo! No wonder why it sold.

Thank you, Bismark!

Wow! Andrew you work is phenomenal! Just love it!

Very beautiful, Yulia. Just love the circles of the wildflowers in the foreground. And the colors of the trees in the background. Thank you for the share.

Oh that is so sad. I hate that!

Judith, Thank you so much!

My favorite tree to draw and paint. I can stare at one all day, everyday.

I understand.

Alan, thank you! Yeah, watercolor can be very temperamental. The canvas can be hard to work with because of the texture.

Such a personal piece, I just love it! It really captures a moment in studio life. It not like factory work, we are not machines that work from sun up to sun down, 8 back to back hours most days. You don't just consistently painting but get moments of distraction or breaks in between creating.

I just love your work!

Beautiful! Just love this piece!

Jeanette, thank you this means so much to me!
