Based in South Lismore in the Northern Rivers, Victoria's art practice is an investigation into what it means to inhabit the human body. Constructing her figurative forms from paper clays, Victoria uses traditional ceramics techniques which allow for the exploration of presence and the examination of self. Victoria examines how one’s sense of the inner self may be carried or reflected in the outer physical self; a visual representation of internal dialogue and states of being.

Victoria also collaborates with Anna Nordstrom who manages the iconic Lismore Art Space, facillitating workshops exploring form and surface treatments.
