Victoria Turner
Victoria Turner was born in London
in 1963. She grew up in a household of artists, her mother and many
friends being painters and sculptors. She remembers using a paintbrush
before being able to write her name.
She painted continuously with her mother as a child, and after attending
Yeovil School of Art, she moved to California where for two years
she developed ideas for landscapes and experimented with different
mediums. In the late '80s Victoria moved back to the UK, where she
worked in print production and graphic design.
After starting a family, and moving to the west country, Victoria
worked with Rachel Hemming-Bray, Laurel Smart and more recently
Russell Hedges.
Increasingly inspired by coastal scenes, Victoria finally moved
down to West Penwith with her family 2 years ago. Her passion with
the sea, surfing and granite landscapes is reflected intimately
in her latest work.
Form, intense use of colour and perspective produce abstract images
that sharply evoke local land and seascapes. The feel of granite
and smell of the sea, coupled with the thrill of a good wave is
never far away from this unique work.
Demand for Victoria's latest work is strong. Her recent abstracts
are sought after by customers from far and wide, she is developing
a strong local following.
