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.
Over the years Victoria has  traveled extensively  and  is  indebted to all  the amazing faces
that have fascinated and inspired her. A love of sketching  and painting family and friends
continually inspired 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 are present again in her current series, 'Nudes', as Victoria continues to
explore the emotion deep within the human form.
