T-017 Trumpets in Spring by Victoria Fout mm 16x20 $400 |
Life can be very hard so I try to add a splash of color and
whimsy by imagining my own fantastical worlds and beings, exploring the duality
between fantasy and reality, light and darkness, life and death, expressing
emotion, and reimagining nature.
I
create fantastical creatures within surreal landscapes using acrylic on canvas
as my main choice of medium. I love a colorful palette, and creating different
textures so much that in some pieces, I often manipulate and sew raw canvas,
include 3- dimensional elements such as fabric and acrylic mediums to elevate
the painting experience to bring my fantastical worlds even more to life.

I grew up in Angels Camp, California. I found my love for rt
at Columbia Community college during the most difficult time in my personal
life. Art became a life-raft; I found comfort, escape, therapy, and a creative
outlet. Art allows me to be me, and express myself. I am now a local artist
with a fresh and unique colorful perspective. I earned my BFA from the San
Francisco Art Institute in 2016. I am currently on of the Gallery Artists
showing my work at Manzanita Arts Emporium in Angels Camp. My artwork has also
been shown at the Calaveras County Art Council, Ironstone Vineyards, Crafty
Chicks Road Show, and at the Calaveras County Fair. I also serve as a Board
member at the Calaveras Art Council.
Lost within my own darkness I find the colors of expression
and joy when I paint. My art is an invitation into my world, welcome.
