In 2007 the YouTube channel Val's Art Diary began. Valentina would tell us about her inspiration as she painted original art. After each episode the painting would be auctioned off on Ebay. Later on she auctioned the paintings from her own website.
Valentina from her studio.
I was luck enough to purchase Against the Wind off Ebay.
In this painting Val was inspired by people persevering in horrible circumstances such as famine and poverty. The tree bends but does not break in wind.
Her last Val's Art Diary was in 2014 and her last Facebook post was in July of 2017.
In the last few months I have tried to contact Val on YouTube, Facebook and the email she used when I bought Against the Wind. She has not responded to me.
I wonder does she still paint and could I add another Valentina to my collection of paintings?
Best wishes to you Valentina.

Hi. I also know Valentina from YouTube and loved her personality and her videos. So sad that she doesn't make them anymore. Maybe she reads this?!

Yes, I hope that she finds this too. It is strange how she never said goodbye to us.
