Valerie Teng is a passionate artist who has nurtured her love for art throughout the years, continually developing her skills, creativity, and distinctive artistic voice. Although her professional journey led her into the corporate world, Valerie never left her creative roots behind. Instead, she continued to find meaningful ways to integrate her artistic talents into both her professional and personal life.

A defining influence in Valerie’s artistic practice is her fascination with Feng Shui and symbols of good fortune, particularly the beloved Maneki Neko, or lucky cat. Inspired by its playful character and auspicious symbolism, she created her signature character, Lucky Meow, a charming feline figure that represents luck, prosperity, positivity, and the joyful possibilities of life.

Beyond Lucky Meow, Valerie has developed a delightful ensemble of supporting characters, each with its own personality and symbolic meaning. Together, they inhabit a whimsical world where art, culture, optimism, and good fortune come together.

Through her work, Valerie invites viewers to rediscover the joy of believing in possibilities and to embrace the positive energy that surrounds everyday life. Her art is not only an expression of creativity, but also a celebration of luck, happiness, abundance, and the belief that what we put into the universe ,through our intentions, actions, and hard work,shapes what we ultimately attract.
