About the Artist
Valeria Ann Watson, an African American artist and humanitarian born in 1948, has been creating art for over 60 years.
The creativity my grandmothers taught me as “women’s work”, knitting, quilting, ironing, cleaning, and tailoring were refined through the skills I acquired in New York City as a costume designer on Broadway and as a men’s tailor in Hollywood.

All the skills my grandmothers taught me with “women’s work” like knitting, quilting, ironing, cleaning and tailoring are refined in my heart, head and hands.
