As a junior in high school I felt very intimidated by what the path towards having an art career entailed. My fear of the unknown made me apprehensive when it came to preparing for the application process at an art school. It wasn’t until Valerie gave me the extra push and artistic guidance that I needed that I was able to produce and curate the portfolio that got me accepted into the Rhode Island School of Design. Her course on Observational Drawing in Graphite gave me the confidence and technique that I needed to produce my bicycle home-test. I am so fortunate to have been guided by the knowledge and care of Valerie, and I firmly believe that the program she implemented for me is what brought me to where I am today as an artist.
