With these pieces I take the next step in imagining what a quilt can be, employing traditional techniques while subverting both form and function and reaching beyond expected geometry. As a collection of works, Volumes explores the malleability and resilience of the quilt as a fine art medium and the boundless possibilities that lie within it, still to be realized.

is a textile artist working in Albany, NY. Victoria's heritage is quilt-making and she carries this knowledge and tradition forward in her sewn paintings, echoing the work of her forebears while innovating new possibilities for the form. She has been awarded multiple residencies including the Elizabeth Murray Artist Residency, Millay Arts Residency, and Weir Farm Artist Residency and has exhibited her work widely throughout the Northeast, including her first solo show at the Spring Street Gallery in Saratoga Springs, NY in 2022. In 2021 both The Albany Institute of History and Art in Albany, NY and The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, NY acquired a piece of Victoria's work for their permanent collections. A strong proponent of the Solidarity Economy and passionate about equitable access to Art, Victoria increasingly offers her work for sale with a pay-what-you-can model.
