About "The Listener"

With an incredibly wild and colourful background - the bird in this picture seems to have settled within the work, if only for a moment, to listen to something that we can not hear.

About Victoria

I was born and schooled in Zimbabwe, only leaving when the economic climate necessitated a move in 2001. Since arriving in Cape Town I have had 2 children and started my own award winning eco-friendly nappy company called Bio-Baba. Growing up in Zimbabwe gave me a deep sense of appreciation for nature and my art often reflects my quirky relationship with the animals and people of Africa.

With no formal artist training, I joined the Debbie Field school of art in 2005 shortly after the death of my brother,
Justin, in the Asian tsunami of 2004 as a way of dealing with my grief.

Over the last 6 years my art has developed into an expressive style where people and creatures seem to burst out from the abstract background; simultaneously there and not really there; to me this is a way of stating the transient and interconnected nature of all things.
