victoria barnes
nee victoria borges grew up with a pencil in her hand. Originally from Germany, she spent her early years bouncing between continents until finally landing in Richmond, VA.
She earned a BFA in Communication Arts and Design from Virginia Commonwealth University, with an emphasis on illustration. Inspired by surface design, impressionism, and the natural world, her work is playful and experimental, with an emphasis on unique textures and color palettes. Her art spans a variety of mediums, ranging from digital illustration to collage, to acrylic paint.
"My favorite part about being an artist is seeing the transformation of an idea into a final product that will become part of someone’s life. It makes me so happy to see one of my paintings hanging in someone’s living room or an illustration on the mug that holds their morning coffee...it really makes the world feel so much closer.”
