Meet the Heart-ist

Indigo is a painter and muralist based in Boise, Idaho. From a logo on a storefront window to a full-scale mural, she tailors her style to fit the space and the client. Her work is inspired by the landscapes and stories of the West, and she’s especially drawn to projects that make everyday places feel more vibrant and welcoming. When she’s not painting, Indigo works seasonally in Wyoming—backpacking, cooking for clients in the backcountry, and traveling.

Meet Our Heart Partner

Nestled at the gateway between the valley and the mountains, Valley View Chevron has proudly served as a trusted stop for travelers and a cornerstone of our small-town community. As a local, family-owned and operated business, we’ve built more than just a gas station—we’ve created a one-stop shop offering the widest selection of goods in the area, designed to meet the needs of every visitor and neighbor who walks through our doors.

Whether you’re heading north into the wilderness or south toward the city, we are honored to be the last stop before the journey—and the first to welcome you home. But more than just fuel and convenience, we believe in fueling people. We’re committed to serving our town, supporting our employees, and giving back to the communities that travel Highway 55.

Being chosen as a recipient of Hearts Across the Valley is a deep honor, and we remain dedicated to living out our mission: to be a place of service, connection, and care—where everyone, from long-haul travelers to lifelong locals, feels like part of the family.
