Book introduction by Renée Phillips, Founder, Director and Curator of Manhattan Arts International.
“Valerie ignites the flame for our capacity to feel and express empathy and compassion. Her art encourages “conversation” with others as we share our interpretations of her narrative themes, especially with those who may not share our views.” — Renée Phillips
“Created with a highly skilled and meticulous hand, Valerie Patterson’s watercolor paintings reveal a profound intelligence at work. Unafraid to use art to deliver sometimes withering, always unhackneyed, sociopolitical commentary, Valerie manages through deft use of color and juxtaposition of past with present both to inform and challenge her viewers, exposing the vulnerable with remarkable sensitivity, compassion, and poignancy while also commanding acknowledgment of our power to change.” — Maureen Doallas, Writer and Poet; Curator, Arts & Faith Ministry
