Burls

Victoria has taken prized burl woods, one of the most misunderstood and mysterious materials available to sculptors and created a body of “one of a kind” wildlife sculptures rarely found in the fine art community. Burls offer Victoria the ability to create from rough, malformed and twisted formations wildlife subjects which simply evolve from within an unpredictable source.For her, working in Carpathian elm, silver maple or rose myrtle burl wood gives her a sense of rebirth which is reflected in her unique single body creations.

Bronze and Wood Fusion

Always pushing medium limits, Victoria has created another “one of a kind” body of work incorporating her signature bristlecone pine and burl woods with bronze lady bugs, dragonflies, hummingbirds and more. What a rich compliment to pair rare wood specimens with beautiful bronze patinas. The fusion of these two mediums provides without a doubt a unique and individualistic evolution in sculpture.

Bristlecone Pine

Purchasing a “one of a kind” bristlecone pine sculpture created by Victoria puts a buyer in the unique class of selective buyers for the truly rare, fine art sculpture. Bristlecone pines are the earth’s oldest living inhabitants dating back to over 4,700 years. Many of these trees living today were seedlings when the pyramids were being constructed, mature in the time of Christ and today are considered protected ancient patriarchs. Victoria has a special appreciation for these dense, gnarled, twisted specimens and has taken her interpretive style of sculpture to a level not seen anywhere. In the rare bristlecone pine medium Victoria has merged one of our precious western resources with her artistic talents.
