Victoria attended Madeley College of  Keele University in England and studied Art and Education.  Leaving Education she went back to College and studied to be a Registered Nurse.  Throughout this time she painted and explored her creative side.  She shows her work in San Diego, Pasadena, San Francisco, and Sacramento. 

Working primarily with acrylics on canvas, Victoria sometimes adds a third dimension—wood, paper mache, cloth, plastic, and/or items of nature.  

Victoria hopes to awaken in the viewer a sense of the profound, elemental beauty of life.
