Victoria Marie
Victoria Marie is originally from Brooklyn, New York. She has called Canada home since 1965 and Vancouver since 1979. She defines herself as a late blooming, self-taught watercolour artist. Her visual art journey began in November 2020 at age 75. As she grows closer to joining them, Victoria feels compelled to form a relationship with her ancestors through art, that is, to portray the strength and compassion of the people who came before her before they were colonized by non-endemic religions. As a member of Sierra Club BC artists, she believes that we part of the earth community and have a responsibility to take care of the earth. This is reflected through her paintings. The painting submitted here are of nudibranchs (sea slugs) found in the Salish Sea of the coast of British Columbia.
