Résumé for Valerie SimmsI graduated from Swindon college in 1997 with a Higher National Diploma in Illustration. Not entirely sure of my next step and without the aid of a brief to work to I began creating works purely for my own satisfaction. I like to think of my work as sensual and seductive, capturing a moment in time of great intimacy between two people without being too explicit. I would like the viewer to imagine that they can feel the warm breath on their skin and the intensity in the atmosphere. I restrict to two or three colours and white, most often using blues, greens and purples. I have tried many different combinations but these seem to work best. I nearly always work on a dark background which stops any distraction from the image without looking like an empty space needing to be filled. Pastels are the perfect choice for achieving the softness and subtlety that I require and as I am quite impatient they are perfect for me as there is no lengthily preparation or drying times which means I can produce a piece of work within a few hours.
