Hi, I´m Val, an artist living on the island of Ibiza.

Here's a bit about my background: I've traveled the world and lived in many countries before finding a home in Spain.
    Plants, animals, and beautiful landscapes greatly inspire my artwork. Besides painting, I love doing pottery and organic gardening. This keeps me busy.

My family and I are constantly looking for ways to grow anything from trees to veggies on our property. Water can be scarce here, especially in summer.
    We feel it´s important to use our natural resources wisely to keep our island healthy and beautiful.

Teaching and learning languages has always been part of my life and another passion of mine.
    As a young girl, my best friend taught me to read and write in Hebrew so we could pass each other secret messages at school.  Years later, I taught myself to read and write in Hindi during my daily commute in the Madrid metro.
I tend to be fluent in 4 languages, and can understand 3 more, but this fluctuates depending on the state of my brain.

Academically: I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Communication from Seattle-Pacific University, and a Diploma in Graphic Design & Illustration from Art Neo,  Madrid.
Youtbe tutorials are also a resource I value greatly, as they have taught me to cut my own hair, chat with animals and sing in overtone.
