BIOGRAPHY

Victoria,  from an early age,  has been drawn to faces and was highly aware of individual
characteristics and anomalies  that  bring life and  individuality  to interesting characters.  
Sitting at  a table  with companions,  Victoria is likely  to be the one sketching faces as the
conversation percolates. Victoria  studied drawing  and pastel at the Carnegie Mellon
Museum of Pittsburgh and continued on to art classes at Carnegie Mellon University. Her  
years at CMU provided a broad range of course work  including drawing from live models
and studying anatomy at the Pitt Medical School Morgue.

Victoria moved to New York City and graduated from Parsons School of Design
with a degree in Fashion Design.  Victoria worked extensively  in  the fashion industry.  
There her love of  color,  texture  and style, lead creative teams in  the collage of  
orchestrating collections and building dynamic brands.

Victoria has  traveled extensively  abroad  and  is  indebted to all  the amazing faces that
have fascinated and inspired her. A love of sketching  and painting family and friends
continually enriched her artistic expression.

In 2008, Victoria’s  work exploded  into strikingly modern, larger than life heads that
capture  the depth of the individual. Her series, 'Friends', shocks  with the portrayal of
visual strength and subtle inner beauty. The strong lighting and graphic approach to
composition continue in her recent series, 'Nudes' as Victoria continues to explore the
emotion deep within the human form.
