Beaver Pond Graphic
"Val's attention to detail is invaluable for providing accuracy in identification. Her technique is equally as beautiful, for a finished product that pleases both the scientist and the casual observer. Overall, I would say Val has been the most professional of illustrators and it has been a great pleasure to do business with her."
