VALERIE LIGHT ANDERSON

Valerie Light Anderson has traveled and lived in Texas, North Dakota, Japan and Nebraska. She currently lives and works in Omaha, Nebraska, and has nurtured a deep fondness for the Midwest. Light Anderson holds a BFA from the University of Nebraska, at Omaha. As a practicing oil painter, her subjects span still life, interiors, landscapes and figures. 

“I am intrigued by art objects–I often add pottery, glass pieces, plants and fabrics to my collections because I’m excited to paint and experience them in new ways,” Light Anderson said.

Her work has been exhibited in Atlanta, Dallas, Sioux City and the Omaha areas, and are part of both private and corporate collections nationwide.  

“I study natural light and strive to evoke thought, joy, and sometimes awe, at how light affects a moment in time,” Light Anderson said. “I see each piece as a portrait or a poem one returns to again and again.” 

She has a studio in the Hot Shops Art Center in Omaha, and can be found on the second floor, in Studio 204. Her portfolio features works in private and corporate collections, commissioned pieces, and artworks currently available for sale.
