Val Littlewood Biography
Val has been an artist, illustrator, designer and lecturer for many years working for UK and USA publishers, the ceramics giftware industry and teaching many art subjects at all levels.
Most recently she spent a year recording and writing about the plants in the Botanical Garden in Orlando culminating in an exhibition of both the writings and drawing. Currently she lives near Huntingdon, teaching, drawing, painting, printmaking and trying to coax something out of her new heavy clay garden. She has a travelling show “BUZZ” which showcases 28 species of our wild bees and talks about bees and their conservation.

'The bees, the natural world, growing plants and recording what I see around me in both words and images is a never ending source of inspiration, and fascination. Recording from the natural world, in whatever medium you choose, opens your eyes to an extraordinary world of beauty, colour, ingenious design and intricate pattern. I am constantly learning and experimenting with new ways of working. Join me to explore and create.'
