About Me

Valerie Turton. Visual Artist currently working from a Studio @ Backlit Nottingham. Previosly based @ Surface Gallery Nottingham. Contemporary drawing is used as a Ritualistic practice to develop ideas that explore the notions of Tradition, Folklore, and Culture. Sculptural works express a direct link to the materials and found objects that represent these traditions and lifestyles.
