"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."

"I envisioned your paintings that live here in the church coming to life - the trees alive and swaying, birds flying, the colors in the sky illuminating, the small creatures scurrying around, etc. It was so beautiful. I'm grateful for the inspiration that your art provides this space. Your work is important. Just thought I'd share."

"I can't be more thankful!!! My heart flutters when I look at it!"
