I was out on an early Spring morning for a walk and came upon a park with a dozen or more profusely blooming Desert Willow trees. They were glorious! They inspired such a rich and full feeling in me of hope and new beginnings! They were also covered in bees busily floating flower to flower . . . it was so wonderful!

Desert Willow II is from the series, For the Bees which is about all the wonderful flowering plants that bees and other pollinators frequent. With this series, I want to bring attention to bee habitat and discussions about saving and creating new ones.

Valerie Ostenak is a multidisciplinary artist focused on abstract/impressionism painting, and is known for her atmospheric style incorporating metal leaf. She studied painting, jewelry, and metalsmithing at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff AZ, and continued at California State University Long Beach, CA. Her professional art career has spanned 25+ years working with gallerists, private collectors, and interior designers designing and creating art for them to live with, and wear.

Internationally awarded, exhibited, and published, a few highlights include: interviewed by National Geographic and selected twice for their American Artist of the Month, invited by British automotive-maker Rolls-Royce to co-brand with them, Invited by Artistar Jewels to exhibit her jewelry during Milan Fashion week four years running, selected by The UN Environment Programme and the Climate Museum to have one of her paintings reproduced as a 5'x8' flag to fly over Rockefeller Center alongside 192 other internationally-chosen artists. Most recently she has partnered with a clothing design company in Montreal Canada for her paintings to be reproduced on their clothing.

“Transformation. Movement. Flow . . . and the Energy within. The energy that exists in the visible, and the invisible as thought: its effect on us, and how we affect it down to the quantum level. This is what I and my work are all about. The pieces I create speak to hope, change, enlightenment, transforming and becoming better, weathering the storms and learning to swim within the chaos."
