Victoria Webster was borne in Chester in 1971. She studied graphic art at Leads Metropolitan University where she gained a BA Honours Degree, majoring in illustration.   Before becoming the Artist in Residence at Hertfordshire’s Heath Mount School, in 1995, she initially worked as a freelance illustrator with a client list that included The Halifax and the Marks and Spencer financial services. Travelling further a field she moved to New Zealand where she became a lecturer at “The New Zealand Academy of Fine Art.” and was instrumental in creating and developing New Zealand’s first Art degree course.   In addition to her teaching career she managed to establish herself as one of New Zealand’s top illustrators. She then repeated this success when she moved to Australia in 1999. Having received enviable commissions from Saatchi and Saatchi, New Zealand Telecom and The New Zealand Red Cross she then gained the one of the highest honours achievable when she was asked to do the designs for both New Zealand’s and Australia’s National Stamps.   Her recent exhibition at the Q Dos Gallery, Victoria, Australia, has been a huge success, with over eighty percent of the work being sold on the opening night. Included amongst her patrons was the prestigious art collector ex Victoria State Government Prime Minister Jeff Kennett   Victoria has been heavily inspired by the work of Stanley Spencer since she attended the “Apotheosis of Love” exhibition at the Barbican in 1991. Her genre style paintings share a similar satirical edge to their content. More recently her influences have included Geoffrey Smart and Rita Angus. The latter was a particular strength to Victoria when she originally moved to New Zealand as her paintings offered great guidance with regards to the perception and portrayal of light.   Victoria’s paintings are full of the spirit of man. She captures both the public and intimate interaction of human kind in one wondrous and humorous visual swoop.
