Bonus V: Valency Genis Art @AprilA2Z #AtoZChallenge @Valency

So I decided to do this extra post because my friend, Valency, is a talented artist and because she lives in New Mexico, it's perfect for my A-Z Challenge theme!

Valency got her BFA degree at the University of New Mexico, and has been creating what she calls vegan taxidermy ever since. Her extraordinary pieces resemble, well, decapitated Dr. Seuss creatures, and each one is lovingly crafted to find their forever home. Some of her creations have gone to people from Pixar, and even Vincent Price's daughter took one home!

She recently had a very successful show in Chicago, and I know she's creating new creatures for some upcoming events. If you like her work, she ships all over the world.

Before I link to some pics of her amazing work, Valency can be found on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/ValencyArt/

And on Instagram and Twitter as @Valency

Something's fishy around here... I put the link in my Instagram profile to sign up for @Rotofugi's online preview for my show next Friday! Look out, Chicago!! ❤️ #Rotofugi #RotofugiGallery #SpiritAnimals #ValencyGenis #ChicagoArt #FauxTaxidermy #TaxidermyFish #TaxidermyShark #VeganTaxidermy #Fish #Shark
