I acknowledge the Wallumedegal, Darug and GuriNgai peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which I live, create, and teach. I pay my respects to Elders past and present.

Valeriia, Sydney-based Multidisciplinary Artist, Certified Trainer and Assessor in Visual Arts.

She works across painting, printmaking, video, sound, and mixed-media installation to explore how material records memory. Field research and direct observation anchor each project, from mixing desert pigments in Fowlers Gap (Celadon, Arid Zone, Elements) to fixing a lost coastline in cyanotype blues (Bittersweet) and mapping shifting alphabets in text-based works (More Than One Thing). Guided by essentialism, balance, and measured manual labour, she pares every gesture to its core, allowing the dialogue between body, place, and process to remain visible.
