Pearce - Visual Artist
Victoria's recent work follows the journey of the spirit
and finds repose in the seeker's garden
A student of vivid colour and spatial contrast, Victoria
worked with Doug Morton of York University while doing her undergraduate
degree in fine arts. After extensive travel, she turned her attention to
painting large scale murals in homes and public buildings. Victoria was
absorbed by this work for 25 years, during which time she painted an
enormous 4,600 sq. ft. ceiling to resemble a sky typically associated with
the Renaissance period.
Victoria's dramatic skies have become her signature,
inviting the viewer to consider the heavens while pondering the wonders of
a garden's bounty. Flowers painted from the detailed perspective of the
eye of an ant, provide striking contrast to the clouds and sky that frame
these unique still life images.
Each of Victoria's paintings begins with a line from a
poem or a prayer, providing her with a kind of mantra she uses to distil
the healing energy that defines her process. (Victoria is a Reiki
practitioner.)
Born in Southern Ontario, Victoria has continued to study
at the Haliburton School of Fine Arts and the Burlington Art Centre. She
currently paints from her home in Oakville, where she lives with her
husband and three children.
Victoria is the current Vice-President of the Burlington
Fine Arts Centre and President of the Burlington Arts Council. Her
award-winning work is exhibited in Canada and the United States in juried,
group and solo shows.
