Victoria is a Cornish painter, based in Falmouth.  Her Cornish heritage and love of the land and sea has informed a practice of landscape and coastal paintings.

She loves the transience of time and weather. Revisiting spaces time and time over, but never quite seeing the same- a unique response in paint to how she sees and feels on the day.

Inspired by walking and painting around the Cornish Coast; Victoria is interested in paths well-trodden and how the essence of a place is not just in the physical, but in the energy, the spirit of a place, time and weather.

In essence her work is about a life lived by the sea and my deep affinity with the ocean, the Cornish Coast and its history.  It is about time spent-from childhood- on the shallow shores of the Carrick roads and the soft estuaries, beaches and woodland of the south coast of Cornwall and the deep seas, rolling tides and immense skies of our Atlantic Coast.
