Victoria Landis

Artist’s Biography

Victoria Landis was born and raised in a small New Jersey town, the second of six children. The first urge to sit down and draw, to truly depict the object in front of her in all its depth and detail, happened at age 12. She’s been drawing and painting ever since.

Numerous moves around the country, including twelve years living on Oahu, have greatly influenced Victoria’s work. Stints as an interior designer, a kitchen and bath designer, and a stay-at-home mom to her three sons, have pushed aside her art in the past.

After divorce, with her fiftieth birthday looming in October of 2007, Victoria decided to go for it. To do what she always really wanted to do—paint and write. Now, she is grateful for the courage to do so and the wonderful opportunities that continue to come her way, creating canvasses and murals that bring joy to people.

Statement

Solace. Serenity. Comfort. These are feelings I hope to inspire in each person who views my paintings. I want the vivid colors to excite and captivate, yet have the images be strangely soothing at the same time.

I’d love for the viewer to tap into in the incredible excitement of being alive and able to create every day. Possibly to motivate others in whatever medium or capacity that calls to them, and share with all the joy and abundance of our lives on earth.

In each painting, I strive to reveal universal truths. Not only to celebrate nature in all its shapes and disguises, but also to give ‘voice’ to the rising consciousness of our age.
