Valhalla Art Collective: The Hope Collection

June 4, 2026 - August 23, 2026

"I believe almost everyone in life is battling something. Many are fighting hidden battles that most of us are blissfully unaware of. I have had my own personal battles in life and have used photography as a visual media to express myself and document the healing journey. Valhalla Art Collective is unique in that most photos carry an inspirational message or life lessons to help those along their way."

The Hope Collection is a compilation of photos that represent different types of emotions when faced with life challenges. Maybe it's stages of grief or feelings of appreciation for someone in your life that has stuck with you through thick and thin. Regardless of the feelings you may be going through, the real goal is to let you know that you are not going through it alone and many people have/are experiencing, very similar, if not the same feelings you are. And that it's ok to feel that way.

American Pie

September 3, 2026 - November 29, 2026

Named after the poignant weight of "the day the music died," American Pie is a visual diary painted directly from the artist's soul and guts. Using acrylics, pastels, and mixed media, each piece captures a raw snapshot of their internal landscape over this transformative year. The collection documents a journey through grief, transition, and awakening. Ultimately, it stands as a testament to how beautiful and vulnerable existence is, urging us to fiercely protect our deepest human bonds.

Based in Madison, Wisconsin, this artist spent twenty-five years in IT clinical operational support before life changed forever in April 2025. Following a sudden layoff and a dear friend’s near-fatal stroke, their world turned upside down. Watching a loved one almost lose their life made it impossible to ignore what truly matters. Amid the chaos, the vital importance of the artist's partner, children, and family became crystal clear. This profound transition taught them to trust their gut, advocate for themselves, and actively seek joy, proving that when everything falls away, all we truly have are the people we keep close.
