I set a goal this year to start an art business. Well, today, that goal is achieved. Please visit my Etsy shop where you can commission me to do a portrait of your pet.

This week‘s #Ikebana(s). Times like these call for more flowers, more beauty, more appreciation, and more joy where you find it. My Ikebana teacher say there is great hope in flowers. May we continue to rise. #wafuikebana #bloomscrolling #hope #flowerarranging

I’m incredibly proud to share that my SF short story “Naming the Dead” appears in the Spring 2025 issue of Kaleidotrope magazine https://kaleidotrope.net/spring-2025/naming-the-dead-by-valerie-e-polichar/
“Naming the Dead” by Valerie E. Polichar

I have the windows open today. I remember, when I was 15 years old, running a long wire antenna out the open window of my bedroom in the warm weather. At night, you couldn't see the far end. I would tune in stations from all over the Earth on my shortwave radio. It gave me a sense of connection to the world. The world didn't know I was listening, but I did. The magnitude of that was majestic, but imposing.

It was just a long wire, stretched out into the darkness, listening to the world.

This week‘s #ikebana is a little late. Today is the four year anniversary of my Mom‘s passing. She would be 101 year‘s old today. She and I had/have the same Ikebana instructor—Mom was her student when I was just a child. #wafuikebana #bloomscrolling #flowers #grief #rebirth
This week’s #ikebana with peach branches, pink mums, and cypress. #wafuikebana #flowers #bloomscrolling
