Victoria is a BA (Hons) Fine Art graduate and multidisciplinary artist working across illustration, oil painting and textiles. She currently works at York St John University as a lived experience researcher with the CERT Converge Research and Evaluation Team, contributing to mental health research across a range of areas. She is also the founder and administrator of a 16,000-member international Facebook group for outsider artists, supporting self-taught and marginal creatives. She loves illustrating for children, as her natural drawing style lends itself to storytelling and character. Alongside illustration, she continues to develop her painting and textile practice, moving intuitively between materials.
