Todays Show is another segment in the Valerie Series, this Valerie Valdivia caught my eye off Instagram, when searching for Valerie’s her artistic flaire is so beautiful. I LOVE her style. Her Handle on IG is Uncanny Valerie – which is exactly how I’d describe her style An Uncanny ability to draw realistic with an edge – something is mysterious.

I had the privilege of interviewing Valerie Valdivia, I found her through Instagram when searching for Valerie’s for this series. She’s an artist and I fell in love with her style of design. This amazing artist I stumbled upon on IG when searching for Valerie’s. She has some ‘Uncanny’ work – which by the way is in her IG handle. She drew the cutest mouse that I fell in love with. Characters like moms and daughters, dogs and cats right out of a Disney movie. Unbelievable talent with her pencil and markers, she works in ink, watercolour, photoshop, clay, embroidery and just about anything else she can get her hands on. She received her BFA in Graphic Design from Chapman University in 2014. When not plotting her next project, she enjoys watching horror films, thrift shopping and discovering new ways to eat cheese. Valerie currently lives in Oregon with her husband and their cats with great names. Welcome to the show!

-theory, uncanny meaning as     strange or mysterious, especially in an unsettling way. Like almost real looking but with an unsettling manner.

Her day Job!

She’s a grocery store painter for their creative displays by day and an illustrator by night – working on her next character. She lived in wine countries and in tern has a love for the wine producing areas. She lives in Oregon, my perception of the oregon – is all of the amazing bridges. She would love to visit London, England again, one of her bucket list to-do’ again.

She collects old post cards – just like Valerie from the Dominican. Valerie Valdivia choses post card with great penmenship. What a neat collection. She is also a horror movie fan, she’s neat in her specifics she chooses based on director or intensional purpose. Interesting, thoughtful and artistic flare in teh movie itself. Well developed characters – like how much thought does she put in her movie choices.
