Howdy! I'm Valerie,

I’ve been a professional artist for over 20 years and own Steel Cow (the online art company where we sell prints of my animal paintings) 

• I’m a wife, mom of 3 youngish boys, and am now loving growing flowers 🌸

• But most importantly - I’m a highly sensitive person who's been using painting as a way to deal with stress since I was a little girl! 

• In Art Garden Therapy (our online monthly painting club), I guide and teach women from all over the world (even if you’ve never painted before) how to use painting flowers as a powerful form of stress-relief
