Wednesday Artist Spotlight & A Giveaway

Happy Wednesday! This week we have a beautiful surprise for you - TWO prints from the very talented Valentina Ramos of Valentina Design!

Print #1: "She Believed She Could so She Did"

Print #2: "Something Good is Going to Happen"

When asked to describe her inspiration for her work, Valentina writes,

  Some of my work is primarily driven by the idea of
  self healing and positive energy, which are motivating concepts that
  ignite my passion to create. Through my paintings I hope to inspire
  and help others follow their dreams. I try to bring a fantastical,
  dreamlike appearance to my artwork, which is made of digital drawings,
  mixed media, and pen & ink illustrations, among others.

  I’m a truly believer on positive thinking. I believe positive
  affirmations can help you to keep yourself on track and work hard to
  reach your goals. The difficult part (to me) is trying to keep your
  mind in the in a positive state 24/7, I wish I can, but it’s not
  easy. I create colorful inspirational art with messages to remind
  myself (and others) about the good things and the things I can
  achieve.

Valentina has very generously offered to give away one of each of these prints to a very lucky reader. To be entered, leave a comment on this post before noon EST on Monday, July 5th. We'll announce the winner next Tuesday when we post our first Self Care video for the month!

Oh I love these! I feel like I might be on affirmation overdrive, but it is just becoming so apparent to me that by thinking in a positive way I keep moving forward.

I LOVE Valentina's work and the ideas/messages within her work. The art is inspiring and also beautiful to look at...What more could we want?! I would love to see Valentina's line work on glass wear.....Wine glasses with fish decorating them for example. Great work!

I had a rough day today - feeling a little overwhelmed by the fact that I'm moving across the country, on my own, away from my family next month. These are prints are the exact sentiments I needed to read right now. I'd love to see them hanging on the wall of my new place.
