After years of exhibiting across the country, returning to Long Island for this prestigious event feels like a homecoming. I will be featuring my latest series of pointillism, including the debut of new "Skydancer" works and my immersive New England water studies.. “A Thousand dots of passion" brought to the shores of Westhampton.

A dedicated pointillist and Rittenhouse Board Member, Valerie exhibits a life study of Monet and Seurat—explores the fluid dynamics of water and the vertical "Ascension" of the New England canopy. As a mentor and educator, she is proud to support the next generation of artists at this year's student exhibition.

Using her pointillist technique, Valerie translates the fluid dynamics of the New England landscape through thousands of individual dots. A lifelong student of the Masters, her work synthesizes the color theories of Monet with the structural precision of Seurat. Each piece is finished with a hand-applied gold leaf edge, containing the "vibrating light" of her "thousand dots of passion."

  This Independence Day weekend, join Master Pointillist Valerie Romano outdoors of the Bridgehampton Museum for a premiere showing of her Water and Reflection series. Utilizing a #0 bright brush and the foundational palettes of Monet and Seurat, Romano captures the "vibrating light" of the coast through a thousand dots of passion. Each piece—finished with her signature hand-applied gold leaf edge—is a study in resilience and refined beauty. From the atomized spray of the Atlantic to the serene "Skydancer" canopies, Romano’s work offers a sovereign sanctuary of focus for the modern collector

"Returning to the source of my inspiration, I am honored to showcase my work on the rugged coast of Maine. This festival is the perfect setting for my 'Water and Reflections' series, where the Atlantic’s surge meets the 'Silent Persistence' of the New England forest.

Standing on the grounds of the historic Bar Harbor Inn, I will be featuring new works from my Skydancer series—capturing the vertical 'Ascension' of the Maine canopy against the deep Ultramarines of the northern sky. Come experience the 'thousand dots of passion' that define my technical pointillism, each piece finished with a hand-applied gold leaf edge to reflect the shimmering light of Frenchman Bay."

As the summer light begins to mellow over Long Island, I am returning to the Bridgehampton Museum grounds for a special Labor Day weekend exhibition. This 'Final Seasonal Premiere' features a curated collection of works designed to capture the shifting energy of the coast—moving from the vibrant surges of July to the golden, reflective stillness of early autumn.

Following a summer tour across the country, I am bringing back a collection that reflects the full spectrum of my journey. This exhibition will feature the 'vibrating light' of my New England coastal studies and a final look at the 2026 Skydancer series. As the seasons shift, my work remains a study in a thousand dots of passion—a testament to the order, discipline, and 'Unfolding Grace' found in a life dedicated to the Master's path. I look forward to sharing these new reflections with my Philadelphia community.
