about
Valerie Doucette is currently living in Canada, where she thrives on unwieldy seasons and periodic ice skating. After having just completed an undergraduate degree in Art History, she is taking a year off while she prepares for graduate school in Communication Studies (research interests: museology, animal representation, social web 2.0), plans to travel for up to four months in Europe, and works as an Educational Technology Assistant at a local university. In her spare (?) time she is a freelance writer, and has just been published for the first time for an exhibition review in a Canadian arts magazine, Border Crossings.
She has a long term partner, J, a supportive and simultaneously bewildering family, and her beloved Macbook which serves as another limb. Art in its many incarnations, she feels, is the meaning of her life and the beating heart of such a world as the one she lives within. She is a die-hard perfectionist engaged in a lifelong struggle to learn how to let go. She thrives in a realm of yummy smells, instant and speedy wireless connections, the uneven ground of light-filled forests to ramble on, and room. Lots and lots of room.
She strongly cares for the future of the planet and the lives of animals, and believes in the rights of animals to not be exploited. In this blog she writes primarily about her vegan lifestyle, art, academia, technology, literature, or whatever else she happens to be learning or experiencing of interest. Thankfully, for the rest of the blog, she will not be writing in the third person.
