Victoria Friends

Victoria Friends lives in Grand Blanc, Michigan, where she and her family enjoy life in a log cabin nestled in the woods. Surrounded by nature, she draws inspiration from the beauty and quiet rhythms of the natural world, exploring many forms of creative expression.
Although she received formal art training at the University of Montana more than 30 years ago, Victoria is primarily self-taught. Over the past 15 years, she has focused on mixed-media painting, working mainly with acrylics and incorporating touches of oil to create depth and texture.
Her artwork has been featured in art shows and pop-up galleries, and she primarily sells her paintings online and through charity auctions.
In recent years, Victoria has noticed a growing sense of freedom in her artistic expression. Her evolving style blends abstraction with hints of realism, inviting viewers into a space where imagination and nature meet. Her current work explores the connection between humanity, nature, and spirit, with the hope of bringing a sense of peace and healing flow to those who experience it.

I minored in Art 30 years ago but most of my art education has been through experience, not education. I have taught others in workshops and private lessons.

Many digital art exhibits with Teravarna internationally.
