5 out of 5 starsI live in Wales, love my chickens and I quilt - this piece of art fits the remit!! Maybe the dogs, horses and tall hubby are for another painting!
I love Valériane’s work. She is so talented it’s unbelievable. -

5 out of 5 starsMy third purchase from Valériane. Her artwork is just beautiful! The calendar is absolutely gorgeous- stunning paintings and all in Welsh - love the addition of important Welsh dates and traditions!
I'm not sure if I'll be able to part with it and give it away as a present! Diolch Valériane! -

5 out of 5 starsValériane is amazing! Her work has magic in it…the calendar has exceeded my expectations! There is such soul and a sense of timelessness in her work…there are no words to describe it other than to feel the emotions it evokes. The calendar was beautifully packaged and sent with such care and thoughtfulness. 💕Merci! Valériane!

About ValerianeLeblond
Painting on wood - with a little hint of naïf.
I am a French and Quebecker artist who has lived in Wales since 2007. I was brought up in Angers, France, and went to live in this beautiful country after graduating in literature in Nantes. I live in an old farmhouse near Aberystwyth with my three sons, several cats and too many chickens.
I have a little studio at home where I paint while listening to French radio and sipping posh tea. In winter the wood-burner is lit and I have a cat or two purring by my side. In summer I struggle to stay indoors and paint more during the evening.
My artworks often deal with the idea of belonging, how people inhabit the land, what makes the place they call home. Most of my works have details and sub-stories that you may notice if you look longer. I love reading novels and I wanted to be a writer when I was a child. There is a narrative aspect in my paintings, and I often have to write down what I have in mind before I start to paint it.
I also illustrate picture books, which is a great way of combining my two passions, books and painting.
