Valeska Röver was a student of the painter Franz Skarbina (1849-1910) in Berlin and attended courses at the Académie Julian in Paris.

In 1891 she founded a private art school for women interested in art , the painting school for women, at Glockengießerwall 23 in Hamburg . At that time the Hamburg vocational school was not accepting women. The Hamburg painters Arthur Illies (1870–1952) and Ernst Eitner (1867–1955) taught at Valeska Rövers art school . Her students included Alma del Banco (1862–1943), Gerda Koppel (1875–1941) and Gretchen Wohlwill (1878–1962). Even Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914), director of the Hamburger Kunsthalle and promoter of Impressionism , supported the art school and supervised the teaching program. The progressive art school was important for the then modern Impressionist painting and for the Jewish cultural life in Hamburg. In 1904 Valeska Röver handed over her art school to her former student Gerda Koppel and worked for the Hamburg Homeland Security Association.

In addition to flower and fruit still lifes, Valeska Röver created hangings with embroidery behind the chairs of the mayors in the council chamber ( senate enclosure ) of the Hamburg town hall and the president in the Hamburg city council , as well as altar paraments in the Jakobikirche Hamburg .

Valeska Röver was buried in the forest cemetery in Hamburg-Volksdorf in grid square F, her urn was later transferred to Kappeln.
