About
Valerie Speer is a professional artist whose work reflects a deep relationship with the landscapes of Western Canada. Her paintings capture the vast openness of the prairies and the immensity of the mountains, inviting a feeling of calm, wonder, and belonging within the land.
Guided by a quiet sense of the sacred in the natural world, Valerie paints not only what she sees, but what she experiences—moments of stillness, presence, and meaning held within each piece. Using simplified forms, soft contrasts, and a thoughtful palette, her work feels both familiar and atmospheric.
Her paintings are collected for the sense of peace and reflection they bring to a space. Valerie exhibits throughout Alberta and British Columbia and welcomes visitors to The Speer & Brush, her studio and gallery in Rosebud, Alberta, as well as to the Arbour Guest House, where guests can experience that same sense of warmth and quiet.
Her work is found in:
• Alpine Echo Gallery– Revelstoke, BC
• Art Gallery of Golden – Golden, BC
• The Vault– Strathmore, AB
• The Speer & Brush Gallery and Studio, Rosebud, AB
• The Rosebud & District Centennial Museum, Rosebud AB
