Hey, I’m Valérie 👋 — let’s get to know each other
Artist, builder, and someone who spent way too long creating in isolation before realizing how much better it gets when you do it together. I’ve been sharing my work on Instagram (15K+ followers), but something was missing. People kept asking for more — more honesty, more connection, less performance. I felt it too. So I built this space. The rules are simple: share your real work. Give honest feedback. Grow without gatekeeping. No pretending required. The catch? It only works if you participate. A community is only as alive as the people in it — and right now, that’s you. So don’t just read this and move on. Tell me what you make. Ask a question. Leave a comment on someone’s work. There’s no community without you. And I mean that. ❤️

Hi everyone! I’m a little late to the party, but still wanted to introduce myself. I’m Anne and I primarily work with watercolors and acrylic paints. My instagram is @theAMStudio.art. I am a stay at home mom of three young kids so I need to use mediums that are quick drying and relatively nontoxic 😅 I’m in the US and have been turning to art more and more as both an escape from current events, but also a means to process what is happening. I love to paint little glimmers I find in nature (birds, clouds, flowers, and trees are my favorites) but I have also been making some political cartoon style works too. I’m definitely an amateur artist still (I took one oil painting class back in college) and mostly learn from other instagram artists and from my mom who became an artist in her late 50s and has been generous enough to pass along lots of supplies to help get me started! I’ve been pretty isolated in my art journey so I am excited to build some community with you! ❤️
What’s your toxic art trait? 😝
Your ride-or-die art material? The material you keep buying… and can’t stop using. And one or more tip we all need to steal from you
