I’m Val Zee — artist, maker, teacher and a woman with something to say.  

I’ve been creating since I was a kid — my first “canvas” was my bedroom wall in 1975. That permission to make something big never left me.

​

I built a decorative-painting business, climbed more ladders than I can count, and eventually moved into teaching. Seniors, kids, adults, total skeptics — I’ve taught them all. And yes, everyone can paint.

​

I later went back to school and finished my art degree because the dream kept getting louder.

​

Today I work in mixed media and collage, pulling from old magazines, memory, humor, frustration, aging, feminism, identity — all the beautiful and messy things it means to be a woman in the world. My pieces hold stories, bite a little, and look you right in the eye.

​

Then came For Fem Sake — my streetwear line built from my artwork and my own voice. Bold, sarcastic, honest. Art you can wear.

It’s part art, part attitude, part therapy. It’s me, but louder.

​

I don’t live in one creative lane. I never have.
Whether you’re here to collect art, wear art, or make art — welcome.
