Veronica Walmsley is captivated by the human psyche, condition, and its symbols representing the collective unconscious, which she currently expresses through various painting media, assemblage and collage. Regardless of the media she uses, her work captures celebrations of life experience, while telling an alluring visual story through which the viewer can connect. The magic for Walmsley is when the viewer identifies with the work in a moment of recognition, like one has when seeing one’s own expression on someone else’s face.

Walmsley left England for the USA in 1971, received a BFA in Printmaking from the University of Alabama in Huntsville and earned an MFA from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1981. Walmsley has exhibited in a number of juried shows and invitational exhibitions, and has won numerous awards. She is a member of Western Edge, a creative collective of distinguished artists based in California. She is also a member of the Pastel Society of the Gold Coast, Santa Barbara Art Association, Abstract Art Collective and the Goleta Valley Art Association.
