about

Vanessa "V" Steele's art explores the complexities of identity and morality. Each painting is an expression of vulnerability and resilience, motivated by the ups and downs in life, health, and relationships. V believes in art as an essential tool for self-discovery and emotional release. Her signature style, identified by uniquely textured compositions and monochromatic tones, invites viewers to confront the rawness of their own emotional landscapes.
