Val is an amazing synthesis of contradictions. Strong and soft, fierce and sweet. An artist with a warrior's spirit, or maybe the reverse. She's one of the best people I've ever met.

Val is an amazingly insightful, straight forward gal. You want the truth, Val is the one to give it. She has a wonderfully sarcastic sense of humor and conversation is filled with intelligent wit. :) Truely a great friend to have.

I failed Feminine Wiles 101. I'm a granola geek. I can give advice on everything from paint to pleated khakis, if asked nicely. My sense of humor is dry and quite sharp. I'm a good person; not a nice person. Confuse the two at your own risk.
