Valerie Giannandrea McKeag
Valerie Giannandrea McKeag graduated from the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee, Scotland in 1985 with a 1st class BA Honours Degree in Illustration. She moved to London and worked as a freelance illustrator working for various clients in advertising and publishing over a 12 year period.
Scottish-Italian by birth, she came to Belfast in 1997 with her husband, re-trained as a teacher and is currently Head of Art at Ashfield Girls’ High School in East Belfast.
As a member of the Belfast Print Workshop, she exhibited widely as a printmaker and in London as an illustrator. A recent move from Belfast to the Mourne Mountains a year ago has rekindled her passion for painting – this recent work has been inspired by the landscape around her.
Previous exhibitions in NI: The Engine Room Gallery, Belfast, Roe Valley Arts & Cultural Centre, Limavady, Belfast Print Workshop shows, The Market Place Theatre & Arts Centre, Armagh, Royal Ulster Academy exhibition, Ulster Museum, The Clotworthy Arts Centre, Antrim, Flowerfield Arts Centre, Portstewart, Waterfront Hall, Belfast.

Her works are held in public and private collections in Northern Ireland, Ireland, Scotland and London.
