Back before the Culture Crawl really got underway, I met Valerie Arntzen, the Executive Director for many years. I was supposed to be getting information to write a story. Instead, I got side-tracked in her wonderful world at her studio, in her home, and in her past. It took a while, and another visit back to Valerie for me to finish the original assignment. Once it was completed, I was inspired to profile Valerie.

You see, I searched on the Internet and I didn't really see much of anything that shows us who she is. She's always mentioned as a part of something else, or supporting something else, and what not. But nothing to really know who she is, what she did to get to where she is now, and holy crap - I love the concept of Assemblage Art and the impact this inside glimpse into another world has given me. The world of creative beauty if much more vast than the mainstream realizes.

I'm pleased to share with you the new piece featuring Valerie Arntzen. I hope to have many more such pages added soon featuring other local Artists, Galleries, and Studios. I'm not paid for this extra side-job I've taken on, so your traffic and readership will be greatly appreciated.
