Vali Myers
-is an Australian artist who i got great inspiration from. I had a book of hers in my early 2o's, and got to meet her here in Melbourne in 1999. She died in 2002. She was the Grandmother opium artist-Gypsy queen-Animal lover-1950's French Lap dancer. She had an amazing 'foxy' tattoo on her face.
I sat with her and was shown books and was told about the good old days of sweet dreams, not like the druggie days of today.
She loved dogs and had many.- Her stories were amazing, a REAL beat/hippie hanging with famous people in the French cafe's of the 50's & 60's.
Her studio is still open, on Swanston st, I recommend a visit.
