Vallleerieeeee, I saw you saying something about moving to your mom’s living room and then to your new studio. I have to say I’m so proud of youuuu. Watching you grow has been one of my greatest pleasure. Feels like watching a friend from a faraway land blooms. Anyway, soul sister, thank you for gracing us with yet another soulful video. I haven’t watch it yet. But I already know it’s gonna speak to my soul and that I’ll watch it for a million times more before I’m satisfied. Take care, Valerie. We love youuuu. ♡🪷✨
That is what I feel too, Valerie is a soul sister. The videos are so great, so much insight and so wonderful art. Mature way beyond the years. Wonderful person. And that is why you are so appreciated Valerie. Thank you for yet another great video. Take care, and Happy Christmas. (to come) ❤
Valerie....I am a 76 yr old artist from Texas. Trusting your instincts to be bold is a great way to live. I have re-invented myself many times and I have never regretted it...failures and successes, but always growth. You are on the right path. Cannot wait to see your new studio. Love your artwork and your approach to it. Best wishes on your next chapter!!!!
You are an extraordinary young woman Valerie. I am 61 years old and every time I watch one of your videos I learn something. Your painting keeps getting better too. Looking forward to what you create in the new studio. Cheers from Tokyo. 🎉
I am crying so much. Seeing you paint over the color on the walls and talk about faith+hope is hitting me so hard right now. I wanted this to be a video to make me feel cozy and relieve some anxiety, but it is making me face reality. THANK YOU for being so vulnerable and sharing your beautiful paintings and speaking your beautiful thoughts with the world.
As someone who has been painting for years, I have not been painting for about 3 years due to mental problems. I feel a little better since I started watching you. I look forward to every piece of content you create. It is not easy to leave a place, it is very difficult to leave memories and know that you will never be there again. I hope things as beautiful as your talent accompany you in the new beginning of your life. Sending hugs for u 💐💖
I'm 30 years old and have moved 16 times across cities, countries continents and what not. I'm preparing for my 17th move right now and I know for a fact that IT NEVER GETS EASIER!! So I really felt this video in my bones. When you were painting over that green wall crying I resonated so much I started crying too and got goosebumps. But the moves have been so necessary each time and things only truly get clearer as you start walking the path courageously like you said. If I don't push myself and delay a change I know is necessary things start to stagnate and get really dark and depressing. So I really needed the additional inspiration. Thank you so, so much for everything you do sending you so much love and best wishes on your new studio❤❤🧡💜💙
@marianospencer some people think moving is a luxury and some have to move out of sheer necessity. My family fell into the latter category and most of my moves happened while I was still under parental care. We never moved to "seek happiness", we cultivated it young and took it with us wherever we went. The moves were a byproduct of my father's scope of work, and we enjoyed each one immensely. As an adult, I have had to make some moves by myself as well, partly as a necessity and partly as a luxury. The only heartbreaking part is when it's time to leave, which is what I resonated with in this video. But it's a very small price to pay. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have been able to tread across so much of this big, beautiful planet. As a well frog, I understand this is beyond your imagination's capacity. What's 'utterly depressing' is leaving a snappy rude comment under a beautiful video. Online trolling strangers you know nothing about and nasty comments are strongly correlated with poor mental health. Perhaps you should prioritize working on that instead of spilling your hurt and pain through the keyboard. I would wish you goodluck but I wouldn't mean it, so goodbye.
Watching you pack really made me tear up. I'm going through something similar and it's so hard to leave or move on. But that's how we know it's the right decision. If it's not hard, you're not growing. You are right about the path. When you stop moving, the path stops appearing. I am excited for your next chapter❤
Crying because you’re scared, and it’s overwhelming to step into the unknown, is the farthest away from stupid one could ever get. Just taking that step is such a huge thing. Processing the emotions and grieving what we leave behind no matter if it’s the right thing to do, that’s the most important part of the process. Thanks for inviting us in once again❤
And I have a question if you ever want to answer it. What makes you paint? And not what you love about it or why you paint. But what makes you actually sit down and do it? On days where you might not feel like it. Or don’t know where to start or what to create. What makes you do it?
Looking through all these comments have me thinking what an amazing community you have created! So inspiring and passionate, I love it! Thank you for all your efforts!
You are amazing. Such a gifted painter, speaker and a brave soul. I love watching your videos and listen to you speaking your thoughts. Good luck in your new move. I can’t wait to see your studio. Don’t forget self care❤
Thank you for this nice video. It's the first one I have watched from yours. I see myself in your words, ways of thinking profoundly about the meaning of the words, discoverings, fears, cries, need for isolation,... I feel the same things, I understand. I like the two paintings you showed here, the Alice in the wonderland is a clever title for the first one! Hope your new home is good for you!
Ein neues Jahr, ein neuer Anfang steht an fuer Dich - Danke fuer die schoene, liebe Zeit die wir mit Dir in dieser Wohnung verbringen durften. Anfang kann schwer sein, aber ich glaube an Dich und weiss, dass Du das es dann schaffen wirst, das Du Dir wieder Deine richtige Umgebung haben wirst, in der Du Dich wohlfuehlst, Energie hast und bekommst und Du Du sein wirst. - bis hoffentlich bald mal wieder! Liebe Gruesse von einem Fan aus den USA - Markus
I love you and your videos. They are so inspiring and calming. I was in a bad mood, but now I want to do something that makes me feel better. Thank you for that and good luck on your new adventure.🥰🐥
Valerie, your content is so high quality, heartwarming and inspiring! You always teach lessons in your videos, even without meaning to. Thank you so much for your hard work❤
I wish you good luck when you arrive your new studio. It's a pleasure to see how you create your own way through your life and to be part through your videos. I like the new print of alice in wonderland and I have ordered a print. Have a nice time. Our hearts will be with you.
You have an old soul, I think. Your words are always said with love and a genuine feel for the subject. Your videos are such a joy to watch. Thankyou, and very best wishes for your new journey. x
My dear Valeria, over the years that I have been watching you, you have grown into a wonderful, beautiful, magical girl. You are wise beyond your years. And you carry the light within you. Well done for deciding to make drastic decisions. I'm sure, I'm sure that everything will be fine. Give yourself time for this. We are with you. We hug you from all over the world ❤️
I just love how real and true you are. How you don't hide or sugarcoat your emotions. When you cry, and when you smile it is so real, you're so Human, and I admire that so much Valerie. You're a Gem and we're so happy that you share your talent and emotions with us
Valerie, I have followed you for a while and each video is just amazing as you. I admire your strength, commitment, experiences and so much more. I’m so proud of you for all your accomplishments. I wish you nothing but the best and much success all along. Wherever you go, you leave a sense of humor and your personality along with the calmness you pass onto us. Many blessings and looking forward to see more of you. Much love and happiness. ❤❤❤
Liebe Valerie, ich fühle so mit dir. Du sprichst mir aus dem Herzen. Nach der Trennung von meinem Mann zog ich zurück in meine Heimatstadt, ohne zu wissen, wer ich wirklich bin und was ich vom Leben möchte. Ich bin den Weg der Kreativität gegangen und glaube fest daran, dass das Universum meinen Weg unterstützt. Immerhin hat es mich zu deinen Videos geführt. :) Die Angst vor dem Unbekannten und vor Veränderungen ist auch bei mir allgegenwärtig, doch dank des Schreibens und des intuitiven Malens bekommt meine innere Stimme ein Sprachrohr. Manchmal habe ich immer noch Angst davor, was sich in den Untiefen meines inneren Universums noch verbirgt. Und jetzt 2,5 Jahre nach der Trennung und frisch geschieden, lichten sich die Schleier und Schritt für Schritt gehe ich in die Richtung, in die mein Herz und meine Intuition mich leiten. Vielen Dank für's teilen deiner Gedanken (auch deiner Tränen). Hab dir gleich mal ein Abo dagelassen. :)
Moving into my own space was one of the best things I could do for my creative process years ago. Living with a roommate is an interesting constraint at first, and forces you to adopt a certain routine, but yeah, definitely a big constraint over time. Also, can definitely relate to the feelings of doubt at the start of a process, even if I've been through it many times. Its encouraging to be reminded that the feeling seems to be universal, and sometimes we just need that reminder that the process will work.
valerieee, solo quiero decir que, llore al ver tu video. Eres una persona con una personalidad demasiado bella y brillante y tal vez sonara algo raro, pero siempre eh pensado en ti como parte de mi familia o una amiga de larga distancia. Deseo que la vida te inunde de cosas maravillosas y te llene de felicidad y mas amor. Te quiero bastante y te agradezco todas las palabras que dices en tus videos, porque eh crecido muchísimo y me inspiras a seguir pintando y tomar el coraje de seguir agarrando el pincel. Te deseo lo mejor y cuidate muchisimo. Te quiero mucho, mi bella y brillante Valerie✨✨✨
God bless you, dear Valerie. ❤Change is difficult, I know. Thank you for being your raw self for us, and for the encouragement. When we face our steps one at a time, we will get closer to our goals. And eventually there will be more steps to take. Life is full of change, and growing ~~ and grace, hope, courage, and love need to be our companions. ❤ I'm praying for you and your next steps.
Everytime every single time you post any video it always resonates with my current situation. You don’t know and I dont understand how are we soo connected.❤
I remember when you just started your RU-vid career, you used to screen print and I remember that I used to follow you a lot, but it's been time since I last saw one of your videos and this video is so beautiful, you have grown so much, and it's so nice to see you again, like if you were and old friend of mine. I'm very, very happy and excited for you in this new path, you deserved it, you worked so hard on it :-) Greetings from Mexico
I am searching about music for drawing because i am starting my new year with motivations to draw more work, And subscribe you and ...awww... I instantly liked you. I love your work. I also love the music you in your playlist for drawings. 🙏💚
You have a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing yourself with us. I wish you the best. I know change can be scary but trust that everything will be okay. Change helps us grow. I wish I could give you a big hug. Remember to be kind to yourself during this time. Youre doing great sweet girl. Keep going. Much ❤ to you from Nashville TN USA 🇺🇸
I really cannot wait for the next video. I already watched this one two times and half of it a third time. I am definitely buying a print of this painting. These women already look so serene, emanating softness and tranquility. Good luck with everything for your moving to a new apartment! It's so exciting and opens up a new wonderful life. Congrats. 🎉
Wow, amazing, and incredibly courageous of YOU! Thank you so much for following your inner guide and heart!! so that we can to flourish in ourselves, as well! Sending you so much love and we are so happy and proud of you, Valerie! Truly courage, and pure faith and hope, surely come hand in hand.
I hope the move proves good for you and we see your mother on one of your future videos. My mom passed a couple years ago. She always wore bold colors in edition to black and white. I have been wearing some of her clothes, lots of reds, which I never bought for myself. But they look quite nice. I looked back on childhood pics and she dressed me in red alot.
hi! i this is the first video i've seen of yours and im very very glad the algorithm brought me here bc i loved it, i loved the rythm and the honesty and the paintings and algo i loved you so much and what you've talked abt... just wanted to tell you that
Your tears were maybe a little nostalgic..youve had that space for a while and its leaving behind an attachment. Your mother's home seems lovely and what a lovely sunny room you're painting in. How exciting you'll have your own space soon. Your paintings are beautiful as usual. ❤
Somehow I got very emotional here 11:57 when you painted the pink wall white. I remember the video with your apartment makeover like you uploaded it yesterday.
I think many of us felt like crying along with you in this video. Seeing your lovely, cosy room returning to a blank canvas (pardon the pun) was quite upsetting, but you’re moving on and the future is bright for you. I wish you the best of luck 🤗🇬🇧
I am in love with this new painting! It is precious and it is the first one you are doing on your new path. Remember...one mile at a time...pay attention in the moment so you don't miss any beauty that surrounds you. And, wow! Isn't it great to have a family? To have support when we are making changes? I can't wait to see this painting finished!
I remember watching you paint this room and make it so adorable! You made beautiful art here and you will be making beautiful art in your new home! I know how you must feel leaving the known. You will only grow Valerie. Can’t wait to see your new home and the art you will create
Valerie, every change comes with a loss, but also comes with opportunity and something you gain! I am sure this is difficult - I have experienced a move many times before, and I can imagine the step into the unknown. I think you should feel very proud of yourself for doing this. In time, sadness will be replaced by nostalgia, and I am sure that whatever this new path brings you, you will find a lot of happiness as well. It's indeed an adventure :) Enjoy it!
This is crazy, I found your channel about 2 years ago with your room makeover and it's been really bittersweet seeing you packing everything, tbh, but I know better things are coming for you. Life is about phases and you're just closing one to start another! I just wanted to thank you for your content and your effort, you're one of the artists that inspired me with my own art space and help me falling in love with art again and start painting after almost 20 years. Thank you so much and my best wishes for you, big hugs from Mallorca💜🏝
Wow, I just had the opportunity to watch this. That was sad seeing you pack the last 3 packages you'll ever ship from there. I saw when you painted that space and gave it that character. So it was also sad to see you paint over it. But it's all for the best. Good luck!
You are finding your way-your path. Moving is scary- even when you know the decision is a good one for you. I have moved to my new home and have lived here for a little over a year. It still feels disjointed a bit, but I know I am starting to grow in new ways. Best wishes from the northeastern coast of the USA. ❄️ 🎨
I really hope you will enjoy your new place and feel better about your journey as an artist. You are so thoughtful and good at what you do. True inspiration.
The queen has posted another video ❤😍 I'm so excited for you, Valerie. A completely new chapter is starting for you and I'm sure you're gonna be able to manage it. You are a smart, brave and intelligent woman and you showed it multiple times through your videos. It's normal to be scared, but I'm sure you can do it ❤
How wonderful you are, Valeria... you are an inspiration... and I feel strange about what happened to me. It coincided with the fact that it happened between you and me... For two months, I have been thinking about starting a change that I have needed for years, which is to travel to Italy and study decoration, but I am hesitant and afraid to change my place and move away from my family... And now I see what happened with you and your wonderful and courageous style and thinking in taking the first step.. I send you a big hug to express my love. For you and my sympathies with you when you cried... I pray to God to bring peace, goodness and happiness everywhere you go... Wait for the next video with enthusiasm, do not be late 🕊💝🥰
I’m so thrilled you are starting a new journey in your own place. You deserve this so much and I look forward to all the creativity and love that’s going to pour out of you! Sending love from the US. ❤
It was so heartbreaking to watch you pack up your room! It was such a beautiful little world you created and I have only known you in that room. It made me tear up. But that said, I'm really excited for your new adventure. As an artist, I think it's extra important to have your own place, and I'm really excited to see your new studio and the new magical world you create with it. :)
I find it funny that all the processes that you are going through, in a way, resonates a lot with what I am going through as well. I love it because it makes me remember that I am not alone and it gives me another perspective and makes me remember that all is well, that I am being held by divinity. Thank you so much Valerie, you are a being full of light and love.💗
Wow, a new studio. The next great phase of your career. I have really enjoyed watching your videos and excited to see the new chapter in your life. Sharing your work means a lot to me and your thoughts bring a deeper dimension to my approach. I wish you great times ahead. Love your new painting. It’s awesome.
Inspiring video, Valerie. Yes, living life well and making art take faith and courage. Thank you for sharing your challenges and joys. Best wishes for happiness in your new home place.
