Valarie FaerieLight Connell

My name is Valarie and I live in Phoenix, Az.  

  www.valarieconnell.com

 I love to paint and draw. I love faeries and angels and Celtic knots. I have been drawing since I was a kid, but have only spent the last few years really trying to do a great job at my art. I am also always trying new techniques and mediums to express myself.  I have several degrees (not in art) and I am currently in school for my master's (counseling w/a speciality in Art Therapy). I would love to one day sell my pieces.

I love all that is Celtic and inspired by nature and folklore. The pagan spiritual path is so awe-inspiring in its self and lends to beautiful artwork. With this said, I am a PAGAN who follows the Mother Goddess, by route of the Irish Celtic belief. This is my personal spiritual belief and is right for me!! Music and books are also very dear and inspiring for me.

I enjoy people leaving feedback about my work, but please be gentle. I know I am far from perfect and need a lot of work. I am my worst critic! As of now, I am in the process of taking some art classes. ;) (YEA!!) So, please if you stop by, leave a little something of yourself on the way out. I will also make sure to do that same for you on your site.

I now have a website where you can purchase items with my artwork. I also take commissions.

**This site is up and running with new artwork both fantasy and not.

I am now a member of the Comment Exchange on elftown. Members of the Comment Exchange promise to comment on the galleries of those that comment on their own. so if you comment on any picture or on this page, I promise to reciprocate in kind... that is if you leave a comment stating, 'cool pic' you will earn one of equal value on your gallery, if however, you give an awesome crit then you will earn an awesome crit in return. And no I don't return comment for comment, the more you comment the more I am likely to comment more on your stuff, but the numbers of comments I give out is completely up to me. Still, I will return the favor in kind. One other thing, if i get mods choice ever/again I will try to return the favor of your comments but it may take me quite some time.

Date Name Comment   10 Apr 2008 Jake Phoenix Beasley Loading... I will very momentarily. What price do you ask? Note: I can’t pay as I don’t have a credit card... Valarie FaerieLight Connell replies: "Well, Jake that would depend on what you wanted, the size, the detail, and the time spent. As for payment, I also accept paypal. If you are truly interested & serious then just send me an email. In the subject line just put elfwood comments and I will know it is you." 10 Apr 2008 Jake Phoenix Beasley Loading... I just did. Why are most of the subjects without clothes? Not complaining, mind... Valarie FaerieLight Connell replies: "I feel the human body, just like the rest of nature is very much a piece of art. I do have some with clothes, but on pieces I do for fun they normally don’t have clothes because body language can be so expressive. Oh and because I can. " 27 Apr 2008 Michael A Rasmussen Loading... Thanks for commenting on my gallery; it’s the first comment I’ve gotten on that picture. And hey, I just noticed! It seems like you answer your comments in the same color I do! ^_^ Valarie FaerieLight Connell replies: "I love my greens!!" 14 Jul 2008 Krystal J Pace Loading... Thanks for stopping by my gallery!

" 11 Aug 2010 Heather hartnett Loading... love your morrigan work she is one of my favorite Irish Battle goddess! Valarie FaerieLight Connell replies: "Thank you so much!! Itruly appreciate it! " 22 Aug 2010 Jason Klaw Oberman Loading... Valarie, you put a lot of soul into your work: these are much more than random thoughts put onto canvas. A lot of artists don’t put theirselves "out there", because they don’t like to take risks. You do, and I commend you for it. I am leaving you specific comments on Hells II and Lonely. Very heartfelt stuff. ThankYou for sharing. Valarie FaerieLight Connell replies: "WoW thank you for you very nice and heartfelt comment! I truly appreciate it. At times the only way I can get the pain out is through my art. I also feel it is the best way to get an idea across were words cannot." 31 Aug 2010 Jason Klaw Oberman Loading... Valerie, I did stop by your site! You have so many different talents! I left you a message in you e-mail account ( I think so anyway), hope you get it! Valarie FaerieLight Connell replies: "Yep, I got it and I responded back... So, tag your it and my message is in your email account. " 27 Sep 2010 Heather hartnett Loading... hi there I have some new Celtic knots on my gallery sorry I haven’t been around I got my first Illustrator job for a children’s book and have been working lately. Your redone Greenman looks great by the way. Valarie FaerieLight Connell replies: "Well good luck with the job! Thanks about the Green Man!" 22 Aug 2011 Amsua Kaji Ryuu Loading... no problem Valarie FaerieLight Connell replies: "Thank you so much!
