From the Studio
February 2026
After receiving Best of Show at Magnum Opus 2025, Victoria returned to the Sacramento Fine Arts Center — where she taught weekly oil painting for fifteen years — with a month-long solo exhibition.
Alongside her figurative paintings, the show debuted the Gilded Portraits to a home-town audience, honoring the beauty and dignity of Native American women and raising awareness of the missing and murdered Indigenous women crisis.
January 2026
Victoria's series of historical Native American women is now available at West Lives On Gallery in Jackson Hole, Wyoming — one of the West's premier destinations for western and wildlife art.
Painted from black-and-white photographs taken between the 1870s and 1910s, each portrait is worked in a limited palette of five colors, then finished with 22-karat gold and silver gilding.
April 2025
Two of Victoria's paintings were juried into Magnum Opus, the national exhibition at the Sacramento Fine Arts Center — and “Beach Stretch” took the top award of the show.
Spring 2024
Victoria spent a month as artist-in-residence at La Maison de Beaumont in the hilltop town of Beaumont de Pertuis, painting the local landscape and its people. She completed seventeen paintings — most of them en plein air — and closed the residency with a solo exhibition for the town.
November 2024
Victoria opened her Loomis, California studio for the county-wide tour, sharing new work from her travels and demonstrating her painting technique. Her work also appeared in the tour's preview exhibition at Blue Line Arts in Roseville.
