Vallée Cachée

Under the author nameVanessa Fallis,

I have recently published my first romance novel.

Approaching the leviathan of an empty white page or canvas can be daunting. Having tackled many creative processes with an intuitive approach of letting my feelings set the mood first, to see where the journey takes me, the best artwork has many layers. It should always remain mysterious, inspiring the imagination.

Much of my creative life has been shaped by autodidactic exploration across painting and visual design, developing a practice grounded in atmosphere, psychology, and poetic storytelling.

My debut novel, Vallée Cachée, marks a natural evolution of that creative world — exchanging paintbrushes for words while continuing to explore memory, grief, desire, vulnerability, and the contrasts between darkness and light. She works from her painting studio in Portals, where she continues to create across image and narrative.
