Valorie Snell
After receiving her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia, Valorie Snell moved to San Francisco where she lived for a few decades as a freelancer in photography and commercial art.
Always interested in acquiring new skills, Valorie learned to metalsmith, make jewelry, design and construct stained glass, and even studied with a Master in Chinese Ink Painting. She currently lives in Brunswick and continues to take classes and workshops. "I love art and always want to learn more every day."
Valorie is very active in Brunswick Art Works, Medina County Art League and Midwest Photography Enthusiasts Group (MPEG) and she has even started a Brunswick Bread Bakers Club. You may find more of her artwork in art shows and local businesses around Ohio.
