Valerie Robert grew up near the shores of Lake Champlain.  After marrying, she traveled with her military husband throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.  After retiring from the military, she and her husband and two children settled in Southeast Nebraska.  Since the kids have long since grown and started families of their own, the artist has spent the last several years pursuing her two passions--writing and photography.  Check out the artist's beautifully created note cards and framed and matted photographs.
