Ollie's Shrine, 2023, pays homage to the portrayal of cats in paintings by renowned women artists, including Joan Brown, Kiki Smith, Elizabeth Blackadder, Frida Khalo, and Alice Neel, among others. These artists have incorporated their feline companions into their works, and in this piece, Valdez sought to uphold and honor this tradition by creating a shrine dedicated to her own cat, Ollie. The shrine is characterised by intricate decorative elements and an elaborate design symbolising a reverence for the long standing tradition of depicting cats in the realm of painting.
