- Biography
Victoria makes contemporary landscape paintings from her home studio in Angus. Exploring the wilderness of Scotland’s land and seascapes, she creates atmospheric paintings that celebrate nature’s vastness – the ever-changing drama of shifting elements and the dynamic interplay of light where sky, sea, and land meet.
Horizon lines have long fascinated her – a connection rooted in her upbringing near the North Yorkshire Moors. The vast stretches of openness she grew up with continue to inform her work.
Her paintings evoke a deep sense of openness and calm, yet through expressive brushstrokes, rich textures, and bold colour contrasts, she captures the fleeting intensity of stormy skies and golden bursts of sunlight. The paintings are memories of these moments and while each artwork is a reflection from a particular place, they encompass numerous experiences – each painting lends a fragment of itself to the next.
Her work is bold, striking and atmospheric. Through playful mark-making and an intuitive process, she embraces the serendipity that occurs along the way. Her deep respect for the natural world is central to every mark she makes – and it’s this connection she hopes to share with others through her paintings.
Victoria graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art + Design with a BDes (Hons) in Constructed Textiles, specialising in Gobelin tapestry weaving. She went on to complete a Master of Fine Art. She has exhibited throughout Scotland and the rest of the UK and has artworks in corporate and private collections across the world.

PROJECTS
I have an exciting portfolio of projects – the result of working across the creative sector for 30 years. My life as a fine artist and designer is finely interwoven with education – which is at the heart of all that I do. I worked in Higher Education for over ten years supporting practice-led research projects. I manage project/design work for clients and work with organisations delivering creative educational workshops. From 2018-2025, I was a Freelance Designer with the Learning Team at V&A Dundee.
