Golden light bathes a serene woodland scene. Soft, muted hues blend seamlessly, while subtle textures hint at the depth within the trees. The tonal palette and restrained brushwork create a tranquil, dreamlike atmosphere.
About the Artist
Artist Valerie Berkely channels her lifelong passion for painting by exploring the meditative connection between intuition and creativity. Combining pictorial landscapes with painterly abstraction, she conveys narratives from her encounters on the shores of Big Lake Superior and those shared by family and friends. Valerie captures nature’s stories, from the tranquility of sunsets to the tumultuous energy of stormy skies. Inspired by the bold techniques of fellow UGallery artists, Valerie discards brushes to fully immerse herself in the tactile experience of the craft. “Finger-painting is a freedom where I often surprise myself with delightful results,†says Valerie.She divides her time between her cluttered yet organized studios in Wisconsin and Michigan, working in each location based on the season. Beyond art, Valerie enjoys experimenting with flavors in the kitchen, drawing parallels between mixing color and mixing flavor.

Artist Valerie Berkely presents a fiery sunset above thick silhouetted trees. The warm rays of the sun brighten the landscape with cooling hues of violet spreading across the forest floor. With her finger painting technique, Valerie uses transparent oils on top of gold iridescent acrylic textures creating a luminescent glow. It results in a captivating image with a gentle flow of movement.
About the Artist
Valerie Berkely uses her finger tips as brushes to create her abstract paintings. For Valerie, the art is all about the process, the paint, her mood, and the moment. She admires the artist Wolf Kahn, who once said, “the picture is the conclusion of an experiment in which the hint of an image becomes actuality." Like Kahn, Valerie’s paintings combine pictorial landscapes with painterly abstraction. The vibrant primary colors capture the hues of the sun rising and setting, and the texture of her fingers across the surface divides sea, land, and sky. There is something very dreamy about these works, exemplified by their color, texture, and atmospheric quality. Valerie’s first “art epiphany†was seeing Seurat's La Grande Jatte at the Art Institute of Chicago. “Bowled me over! I actually fell down. And I knew I was to become a painter.â€
