Valerie is an outside of the box visual thinker. She challenges the status quo emanating more meaning from the internal rather than external domains. She delivers the message in the visual concepts familiar to our eye while shifting their colors and shapes in a way allowing the audience to take gradual steps and transform the spirit, mind and attitude.
