Fields of Plenty, 2009
original abstract oil painting
12" x 12"  signed and dated on the front

The work is oil on canvas panel and is sold unframed. I made this panel myself - the masonite backing is rigid and heavier than most commercial panels.

I visited local farms for an internship program I coordinated this year, and was struck by the abundance of food and produce. So this painting has some basis in the concept of fruitful fields.

I also listen to jazz or classical music while I paint and this was conceived while listening to 'Smile' by Brad Mehldau from his 2004 'Anything Goes' CD. Originally written by Charlie Chaplin in 1936 for his film Modern Times, this song has become a popular standard. Mehldau interprets the 'spiritual breakthrough*' that Chaplin wrote about during the depression, but it's never sappy or maudlin.

Succulent Garden, 2000-2003

contemporary abstract archival print from original painting

I began this painting from sketches of Golden Gate Park's succulent garden when I lived in San Francisco from 1997-2001. I worked on the painting in my garage there, and finished it two years later after my move to the midwest. It is one of my favorite works.

Victoria creates abstract, landscape, figurative paintings and drawings.  Below is one of her older works but just as fresh and alive as if it were painting yesterday! 

A blip from her profile page:

My work emerges from my immediate locale to offer a deeply personal response to nature. 

With true joy in painting and an intuitive improvisation of documenting an ephemeral landscape, I want the viewer to remember and be aware that once we had these views, this landscape of incredible beauty. Even on a small plot of land, one can make a paradise.

 Africa, 1988
