Valerie is also a printer. She founded BlockArt Prints Inc, in the mid-1990’s, and created hundreds of custom-designed, hand-carved block printed images for greeting cards and note cards for Chicago’s Brookfield Zoo and Lincoln Park Zoo, American Express, NASCI, and many small and medium-sized businesses in the Chicago area. She patented the Glowbox, which is an illuminated box that holds interchangeable panels of these images. Below, you will we a small selection of images from the copious collection she developed. Notecards and holidays cards are available for selected images. Email the artist at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to inquire.
