Bluebell, by Valerie Lloyd, Oil on Canvas
Artist Bio
Valerie Surface Lloyd is drawn to the quiet language of form, color, and metaphor. Her paintings—ranging from abstract compositions to simplified still lifes and occasional illustrative works—are meditations on presence, spirituality, and the layered meanings found in everyday objects.
As both a painter and the owner/curator of Surface Gallery in Colorado Springs, Valerie sees art as a conversation: between emotion and form, artist and viewer, and the creative community as a whole. A lifelong creative, she has shared her passion through her own practice, commissioned design work, and as an art educator for students of all ages. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Education from Colorado State University and believes deeply in the transformative power of art to inspire, connect, and shape culture
