Visit during the Open Studio Tour March 10 - March 12, 2023 at 2750 East Eba Court. I will be showing all new art pieces!

COMMISSIONS AVAILABLE: Be part of the design process by choosing colors, size, and style, Have a unique piece created especially for you.

When I create a commissioned piece, I work with the client to define a color palette that pleases them and get an idea of a layout. We work closely in the beginning stages to be sure what I envision matches the feeling they are trying to express. Because there are so many points of decision-making throughout the creative process, I may contact the client for more discussion. Overall, however, I encourage the client to trust me and let go, just as I have to do. I may sometimes check in along the way, sometimes not. But the end reveal is always a joyful surprise.

  • Planning stage (16x20 and larger)
  • Confirmation with a contract outlining the plan and price. At this time, a 50% deposit (non-refundable) is required.
  • Updates
  • Final reveal and hanging (if local)
  

"Fall of 2020 we decided to renovate our home to a more contemporary look. We wanted our furniture and walls to be the blank canvas and just needed our punch of color to be our statement piece. After seeing Victoria's art at K Newby Gallery, then again at Miraval Resort and Spa, we knew we had found our artist. After a quick Google search, I was delighted to discover that she was a local artist and to top it off lived right around the corner from us. Victoria met with us and the fun began. We decided we wanted to go BIG -- a size that was to take over her entire studio and house. We gave Victoria a list of colors that we wanted and these were to complement our unique granite of our kitchen's island and off to work she went. The process of painting, you'll have to ask Victoria; the results speak for themselves. The house's main focal point is our painting. Put simply, it's the star of the room. We're already looking forward to our next area, our entrance way. Working with someone who has such passion, vision, and creativity in their work made this venture fun. Knowing that she listened to our wishes, she achieved exactly what we wanted. Thank you, Victoria." ~ Beth Larose, Quail Creek resident
        
 
"Working with Victoria was a wonderful experience. Not only is she kind and easy to work with, she is a gifted artist. She came to our home to discuss options to enable her to create the perfect artwork. We started by discussing colors and ideas we would like to see develop. She allowed us to voice what we wanted to see and offered gentle suggestions and assistance. She took photos of the furniture and the entire setting. From there, she was able to drop into those photos, samples of the artwork so we could envision the final product. We next discussed colors and design. She had color samples and we were able to pick out the ones we desired in our artwork. She took those samples to her studio and created beautiful products. From there, we tweaked the artwork to our desires. She took it home again and developed the final product. It turned out to be a beautiful piece, one that we are proud to display. Our guests are drawn to it with commentary of great liking. From there, we had her develop a piece for our entry. Again, it is perfect! We are thrilled with her work and highly recommend her to develop pieces for your home." ~ Lois Bossert, Quail Creek resident
  
 
"Working with Victoria was a wonderful experience! The anticipation of seeing the final product was so much fun! I shared my color preferences with her, and she did her magic! Along the way she would text me a tiny snippet of the entire piece, and oh how exciting it was to see the transformation right along with her. And then the final reveal! Just spectacular! Stupendous! So wonderful to have a work of art created just for you exactly to your liking! If you’re thinking about commissioning her, don’t think any longer! Just do it - you will not be disappointed!" ~ Sherrie McGriff
