Located in northeast Iowa about 16 miles from the Mississippi River, this 25-foot tall mural of "Paula the Cow" greets visitors to Waukon. The artist, Valerie Miller, grew up in the Midwest and developed a fascination with cows. She began painting them while studying art at Bradley University. A definite sense of character emanates come from each of her bovine subjects.

Miller also paints what she calls "petrayals," custom portraits of dogs and other pets.
