Valerie Noell is a multidisciplinary artist and the founder of Terracotta House, an artist-led initiative and creative sanctuary in South Florida. Her fine art practice spans abstract painting and photography, rooted in storytelling, emotional memory, and a deep connection to place.

Working in the tradition of abstract expressionism, Valerie paints on raw canvas using fluid acrylics in layered washes, blending intuitive, gestural mark-making with a sensitivity inspired by the watercolor painting of her childhood. Each piece becomes a meditation on movement, memory, and the subtle atmospheres of landscape and feeling.

Her fine art photography echoes this emotional approach, capturing dreamlike narratives drawn from travel, nostalgia, and the quiet poetry of the everyday. Across mediums, Valerie’s work seeks to hold space for reflection, transformation, and the beauty found in what lingers just beneath the surface
