Vali Myers (1930 – 2003). Australian artist, dancer, bohemian and muse whose coverage by the media was mostly in 1950s and 1960s in Europe and the United States.
Myers was a flamboyant fantasy artist who worked in pen and ink and watercolour as well as being a nightclub dancer. She divided her life between her adopted home of Melbourne, New York, Positano and Paris.
Her art works developed from early detailed monochromes to a full range of vibrant colours and tones extending to watercolour and gold leaf. She was acquainted with many celebrities including Tennessee Williams, Salvador Dalí, Django Reinhardt, Jean Cocteau, Patti Smith, Jean Genet and Sam Shepard.
