Hi! I’m Victoria Jane Wilson, an abstract artist living in Sydney, Australia.

My inspiration is from the big life events... The frenetic whirlwind of living in New York City. The upheaval of losing a family home in a disaster. The joy of becoming a mother - and the release from the relentlessness that comes from having three children under five. One of the most current and enduring sources of inspiration is my father, who suffered a serious pedestrian traffic accident in Rose Bay.

To deal with all the feelings that being human entails, I turn to the canvas. During this process I can capture my true state of being. I want someone who is looking at my art to feel the emotion translated through the strokes of my brush, to bring life to the room that becomes its home. Emotions are fleeting but in my art they become a time capsule.

It is a full body practice, with music, children and even Walter the dog all flowing in and out of the studio. Because of this I focus on medium and large scale canvas as I can be quite expressive and need the space! I work with acrylic, ink, oil pastels and collage, often working on several pieces spread out across the floor at the same time.

If you like what you see, please drop me a line and come say hello for a studio visit and a cup of tea (or glass of wine…).

Biography

I grew up in Sydney's eastern suburbs and studied Design and Visual Communication at the University of Technology Sydney before being selected to go on exchange to one of the greatest design schools in the world, Central Saint Martins in London.

From there I spent a year traveling the world, and lived in London and New York for 7 years. While forging a career as a creative director in experiential design for some of the world's leading companies, such as Google and Oprah, I refined my fine art practice by studying under Frank O’Cain at the Art Students League of New York.

I am fortunate to have selected works available in Palmer and Penn, a beautiful interior design store here in Double Bay, Sydney.
