Matchstick lady Painting

I paint under my maiden name of Victoria Richings. I was born in England in 1966, I have now lived in the Aquitaine region of France for over 4 years. i have been interested in art from an early age, following my brother, Allen Richings' progress throughout the years. i have studied the methods used by many different artists to achieve their own distinct styles and using this have tried to create a mix to make my own interpretation of art. i work mainly wiith acrylics. My inspiration comes from life, its experiences, the people around me and different artists i study or meet.
