Welcome! Iβm a full-time artist based in Canberra, taking inspiration from regional woodlands and forests where Australiaβs unique colour, contrasts and changeability live strong. I specialise in βcosy wild placesβ such as pockets of the forest understorey or a snippet of riverbank viewed from my kayak. My works invite viewers to peer in, the same way as when someone speaks softly you lean in and become still to listen.
I love rich, soulful, earthy colour. I love semi abstract landscapes with organic forms and lost-and-found edges that speak of the forestβs timelessness and oneness, and impressionist flecks of colour that skip across the canvas as sunlight across leaf, web or wing.
As a nature lover, I prefer sustainable materials. This is why many paintings are on unstretched linen, so thereβs no plastic bubblewrap needed for shipping when you buy online. Your artwork arrives in an easy-to-handle, lightweight mailing tube. You will find prices for unstretched works are lower to allow for stretching costs.
Yes, I am the Canberra artist formerly known as Victoria Collins. In late 2024 I have finally changed my name in honour of my marriage to my beautiful husband (two years ago!). In 25+ years of practice I have exhibited in galleries in ACT, NSW and Tasmania plus several solo and partner exhibitions (a real treat to show with my mother, artist Pamela Collins).
