ARTISTS STATEMENT Having found my true vocation as an artist in middle years Last year Wind and Willow installations became a most satisfying expression, culminating as a peaceful and liberating development in my work. This year the the theme of flight continues, with a progression into willow forms representing the journey of life to the empty nest syndrome, culminating in fredom of movement and expression. Buddhism, the live teachings of H.H.The Dalai Lama, has strengthened my joy in flying flags....and sharing it with you! New video on its way! Valerie 2008

I experience a sense of urgency to re-create
new ideas before they fade quickly into the past.
Artists residencies and workshops regularly enhance and inspire my own creativity. Sharing my skills is an immense pleasure, so offer this service to schools, groups, and festival events.
Movement and flight have been a consistent theme, from the story of Yeannoh, mythical dragons, and the experience of sailing in all the elements.
