Valetta works primarily in pastels. Oils, mixed media quilts, and sculptures are also part of her extensive inventory of work.
"The gallery's featured artist is Valetta whose paintings and pastels are crammed with symbolism. Her quirky images are both fluid and magical. Her colors are soft, almost glowing. Valetta explores mood, time, and narrative in her exceptionally intelligent pieces." Robin Hotchkiss, Dircetor, Salon des Amis Gallery. |

| Valetta's work has been described as figurative abstraction, leaning toward the surreal. In a statement for her 20 year retrospectve in 2011, Valetta writes in part, ... "Words and images are the tools of communication, the way I've relied on a stream of consciousness approach, trusting that enough will be revealed of interest, enough exposed to intrigue, but not enough to say, 'This is all I am after all'." |
