The Dooryard Gallery--Valorie Schleicher

There are a number of ribbons that run through Val 's Life and Art: her passion for community, people (kids, women,
family) , culture, history, Gardens and Photography become evident in her work and Art.

Valorie's path as an artist has pulled these ribbons together. It is a journey that has evolved over time and incorporates
all of my passions - history, sculpture for public places, design of landscapes, and the love of life and nature. Valorie
create places and pieces of beauty where people, architecture, landscape and art come together and meld into one. She
is an artist that takes note of people, time, place, and bring meaning to share with others. The art Valorie create
encourages; contemplation, meditation, rejuvenation of the soul , energy and healing.

A sculptor who produces small to large scale works of Art that hang in public, private, interior and exterior places.

Valorie quotes "I am an observer who takes note of al l that surrounds her and moves me from one passage to another.
Like the saying, "I used to think… but now I…" it ’s those happenings in our lives that bring the revelations to the
foreground and inspire us to greater beginnings and better art". She considers herself, "A student of life", her passion
as an artist is "A visual statement bringing together the process of "life" and "choice" that transcends time".
