I'm Val. I'm twenty-three and have lived in the 801 for my entire life. That might change once I figure out what I want, but for now, I am perfectly content in Salt Lake City. I grew up drawing for as long as I can remember. I went to the University of Utah and studied graphic design, illustration, painting, drawing and printmaking, and graduated in 2008. I am probably the most indecisive person you will ever meet, so it is pretty amazing in itself that I even knew I wanted to do art and nothing else (well, when I was really little, I wanted to be a mailman). I'm inspired by art deco, vintage signs, hand-lettering, tattoo art and people.
If you're interested in collaborating or hiring me for freelance work, I would love for you to contact me!
