Victoria works in pastels, dry sticks of color that are made from pure, powdered pigment and mixed with a small amount of gum binder. A variety of surfaces are used to achieve a wide range of moods in her paintings.
Each piece is composed of layer after layer of blended pastel strokes, sharpening the sticks to fine points to achieve a level of detail rarely seen in this medium. "Detail is what I love and I most enjoy it when people look at my work and can`t believe that it is pastel."
Victoria attends and shows her work at annual art shows throughout the country. She is a signature member of the Pastel Society of America (PSA).
She and her husband John live in Elk River, Minnesota with their three dogs, chinchilla, three canaries and three horses.
