Victoria lives and works in Minehead and is a founder member of the Wiveliscombe Art Collective.

The group has been exhibiting regularly with the 10Parishes Festival for years.

She specialises in creating intricate and colourful illustrated Maps using ink and watercolour. The idea began with a collection depicting each of the 10 Parishes - plus a few further afield as a response to the 10PFestival theme of the year ‘The B3227’. The style is inspired by the 16th Century navigational maps of Ottoman Admiral Piri Reis, and are embellished with gold and silver ink.

Victoria has created many personalised maps to commission since, including places overseas such as: New Zealand, Austria and Hong Kong. Sizes range from 175mm x 175mm to 1m x1m. Commissions are welcome so get in touch!

Birds feature strongly in other work, also in Ink & Watercolour. Some are densely patterned and colourful, others are more representative.
There is a special collection executed using the minimal Chinese brush painting technique.
