Valerie letting loose at our Annual Girls only family PINK PARTY! Valerie is a self taught artist, author, writer and photographer, Valerie was born in England, but is now living and working in NW Montana. With no formal training, she learned to paint by copying her favorite paintings. She says "I love to use lots of paint and lots of color, and for the present, I have this urge to paint the beauty of flowers. I recently started painting again, having not touched a paintbrush in the last 40 years!"
Now back in the US after visiting the home of Isaura, near Porto, and having the privilege of living with the beautiful paintings of Isaura, and filling her heart with the warmth of the Portuguese soul and her stomach with the wonderful Portuguese food!
Her first book, "You Can't Have Too Many Boston Terriers" a humorous look at living with 7 Bostons, is available in Paperback at ttp://www.booklocker.com/books/4423.html. She is working on writing her second "Treetops and Tidepools" another true life look at living at Treetops, the garden, the Boston Terriers, all in a quaint hillside cottage perched on a hillside in a small town on the Southern Oregon Coast.
