Valerie Timmons is a painter, photographer and digital artist whose genre-spanning work includes landscape, portraiture, still life, minimalism and geometric abstraction. While her paintings may vary in style and even mood, their unifying element is a rich emotional resonance that finds as much beauty in a non-representational tempest of form and color as it does in the clean-lined serenity of a still life.
Valerie is an instinctual artist who follows that which catches her eye and trusts her gut during execution. Working mostly in acrylic and/or oil on canvas, Timmons’ preference ratio of line to color may shift from painting to painting, depending on subject and mode. What remains constant, though, are the underlying energetic properties that evoke the surge of life currents embodied by even apparently inanimate forms.
Valerie has a BS in geology from Western Kentucky University and a JD from the University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law. She came to painting relatively late, having previously concentrated on her talents in the realms of music and theater. She is also accomplished at photography, a medium she frequently uses as a springboard for her paintings and for elements in her digital work.
She lives in Crestwood, Kentucky, with her husband and rescue dogs.

This painting sums up one of the more urgent messages of my show:
the planet is too warm, and we’re losing iconic and vital species.
It is still on display at KORE Gallery.

3Bare Trees

There’s nothing more evocative to me than bare trees. A lot can be said about the attributes of wintertime, but being able to see a tree’s true character is a joy. And finding out where all the squirrel and bird nests are. Yep, something to be said about bare branches and trunks.

Allee

I have a theory that the soaring vaults of cathedrals were modeled after tree canopies. I mean, look at this. I could sit in a spot like this all day. Beaches are a beacon of relaxation for a lot of people, but for soothing sounds and visuals, give me the wind in tall trees any time.

My Flower Head Ladies came into being after I “kaleidoscoped” some of my backyard photographs. And while they stood on their own as art pieces, I believed they would also, eventually, make good backgrounds for additional elements of nature. Having seen numerous formal portraits of women with flowers for heads, I decided to give it a try and place the ladies on my backgrounds. Yes, they’re a riot of color and are definitely blessed with a certain amount of attitude. The torsos are from classic, historical portraits, with a few exceptions where I used torsos from some of my own portraiture. Most of the “heads” are also from my backyard.
I love connecting women and nature. While we’re all a part of the circle of life, women seem to be more grounded in the natural world. According to Ralph Waldo Emerson, “The earth laughs in flowers.” And indeed, flowers bring a smile to almost every face, except those allergic to them, of course. The Flower Head Ladies certainly make me smile. They were so much fun to compose. I paid strict attention to color combinations and ratio of flower to torso. There will be more.
I’m considering making some prints of the Ladies three-dimensional by affixing butterflies or other insects to their heads. (A tiny bee beat me to the punch with Pink Peony Head.) My photographs of the butterflies in our gardens over the years are some of my favorites, and indeed you can see some of them in the Ladies’ backgrounds. I would like to showcase the butterflies as well.
The Ladies have proven to be popular as covers of notecards and postcards. If you’re interested in those, send me an email ([email protected]).
