Art has always been a major part of my life. My father was a wildlife artist, and as a little girl, I spent hours painting and drawing next to him. I've taken that love of art into adulthood. I'm a part-time public school art teacher and art business owner who strives to inspire students and clients alike through the creative artistic process.
I'm a Wisconsin native who has called Annapolis Maryland home since 2006. I live with my husband, two sons, and the cutest dog ever.

Born and raised in the U.S. Capital, Washington D.C. it comes as no surprise that many works base off that very environment. With colorful realism, these works capture “Our” culture while simultaneously displaying in-depth details to permanently stamp the regalness of the subject matter. We live in the now, but Victor’s art serves as a time stamp of periods of time held personal. If given the time, we have the opportunity to live many lives within our term. Embrace them, learn from them & reinvent yourself as many times as possible. Just make sure the result is forward progression.
