Valerie Miller thinks cows are works of art, not beef
Valerie Miller thinks cows are works of art, not beef.
Born and raised in Iowa, USA, Valerie Miller grew up surrounded by farms and animals. During her college years, while studying art and business, Valerie found herself immersed in the “urban landscape” and began painting cows void of their usual rural surroundings (much like she then found herself).
Today her paintings isolate individual cows from the herd, showing the character of each of “the girls” against a vivid background with an absence of location. The signature of Valerie’s work are her large paintings ranging from a few feet on canvas to 25+ foot murals on the sides of buildings and barns.
Personally meeting each cow is one of the hallmarks of Valerie’s work. She visits “the girls” in fields around the world, naming each cow after the actual cow studied in the field. If the cow is unnamed, Valerie chooses a name, often naming the cows for people who have influenced her.
