I truly don’t have enough words to describe the deep awe, wonder, and inspiration I feel every time I find myself face to face with one of Valerie’s paintings. I am beyond grateful for the art piece that she created for me. The extraordinary level of detail, the colors, the vibrancy, the love and energy and devotion behind it – it all comes to life in such a beautiful way, and I experience new and deeply profound insights every time I pause and take it all in. A strong meditative feeling of being deeply held, nurtured, and empowered by mother earth spirit washes over me every time I pass by her painting, and I feel beyond lucky and privileged to have something like it in my home. I must admit that I feel a little crazy to say something like that about a piece of art, but it’s true and it’s been a huge part of my personal growth and evolution these past couple years. I have so much love and respect for Valerie and her creations, what she channels through her brush is otherworldly, invaluable, and beyond astounding.
