For more than thirty years her work has primarily been personal and a leisurely pursuit. But when she moved to Florida in 2007, art became the centerpiece of her life. Her works frequently reflect Floridian and Louisianan ideas. But her true inspiration comes from her experience in life. Velia is a free spirit, avid traveler, and adventurist. Her personal mantra is seeing the glass half full and
enjoying the journey of life. Velia often takes inspiration for her artworks through these personal experiences, travels, and adventures. She uses symbols not only to capture the essence of her personal world, but also to express her emotional and spiritual ideas. Velia translates her personal journey with creativity onto canvass. Her original paintings exude life and energy with vibrant colors and textures that evoke the authentic and positive emotions that come through in the finished creation. She is continuously learning new techniques and works in styles such as acrylic, mixed medium, epoxy high gloss, diptych, and triptych. Her mixed medium works of art are her most popular and highlight a poetic collaboration of materials. Velia’s art is featured in several interior design studios in the United States and her commissioned paintings are displayed in corporate offices and admirers homes. If you seek to have vision expressed, Velia can put your thoughts and desires onto canvas and lead you to your dreams with a one of a kind commissioned work of art. Velia hopes to take your breath away and rouse your senses through her unique and inspirational creations.
