Victoria’s dreamlike landscapes illicit an emotional response to the effects of light in nature.

Color, texture, light and movement are an important part of my work. I especially like being challenged to brainstorm and work “outside the box” with a theme for a specific show or event.

My artistic process relies heavily on observation — that is to say I trust my eyes to “tell” me what to put on the canvas, how to paint it, what is important, and what is not.

I often flip through old and new art magazines making notes about which work I am drawn to and why, as well as to find methods or materials which would lend themselves well to my own practice.

I´m hyperactive and curious and cannot stay still, nor limit myself to a single media, style or theme: I´m always eager to explore new grounds.

Often I use the “back” side of the fabric to get the look I want. I get a particular delight in using fabric for quite a different purpose than the designer may have intended. It’s a sort of secret and unwitting collaboration with the designer.

I would like to help create a vibrant and positive environment for young and emerging artists in my city, and I would like, on a more personal level, to have my work out in the world, where it belongs, to be seen and commented upon, hated or loved.

My work has been an on-going internal conversation for the past 12 years or so, and though I have taken small breaks, I do not plan on finishing the conversation any time soon.
