Valerie’s Portfolio

Valerie Noell

Valerie Noell is a multidisciplinary artist, photographer, and creative director whose work moves between landscape, memory, and abstraction. Rooted in observation and shaped by time spent outdoors, her practice explores the relationship between environment and emotion—where place becomes both subject and language.

Her work begins in nature. Through years of travel and field study across the American West, she developed a photographic practice grounded in light, terrain, and atmosphere—documenting landscapes not as backdrops, but as living, shifting presences. This foundation continues to inform both her photography and painting, where compositions often emerge from collected fragments: a horizon line, the movement of water, and the sculptural forms of canyon walls and weathered rock.

Working across photography, painting, and spatial design, Valerie approaches image-making as a form of translation—moving between what is seen, felt, and remembered. Her abstract paintings extend this process, distilling natural elements into color, gesture, and form, where landscapes dissolve into something more internal and intuitive.

Alongside her personal practice, Valerie has spent over fifteen years working as a commercial photographer and creative director, collaborating with brands across lifestyle, interiors, food, and wellness. Her work is known for its naturalistic approach—favoring real environments, tactile materials, and an editorial sensibility rooted in storytelling. She works between South Florida and Los Angeles, and travels frequently for projects and field work.

She is the founder of Terracotta House, an artist-led initiative and living gallery space for art, photography, and experiential work centered on creativity, environment, and wellness.

Her work will be featured in the upcoming group exhibition Across This Land: America at 250 at the Coral Springs Museum of Art, and has been featured in publications including Parklands by Gestalten, Vogue Japan, Local Wolves Magazine, and Coyote & Oak Magazine. She has also produced two artist zines through her independent platform, The Eternal Child.

Whether through image, object, or space, her work reflects an ongoing inquiry into how we experience the natural world—and how those experiences are carried, altered, and re-expressed over time.
