Valerie Milner Graham

Valerie Milner Graham is an artist whose works unify seemingly opposing forces of tranquility and impermanence. Her works reflect her history as an artist who grew up in New York City and traveled and lived in various locations in North and South America. Valerie’s talent was first recognized at the age of 13 when a color study was showcased in a juried exhibition. She was subsequently selected for placement in an advanced visual arts track in high school. Her early training under the guidance of skilled arts educators ignited a lifelong interest in making and exhibiting art. In the 70’s she relocated to rural Montana where her artistic interests turned to fashion design showcased in an art collective. Her involvement in the collective eventually developed into a 20-year career of owning and operating successful galleries. Her work spans a variety of visual mediums and sometimes combines them. Woven together is colorful imagery that is both complex and soulful.
