VICTORIA’S LABEL:

2018 The Barrel Climber Sauvignon Blanc

Victoria’s childhood and history have shaped her into an artist with a unique perspective. Growing up in the epic, high desert outside of Minden, NV and attending her first years of college in the dense woods of Arcata, CA, Victoria’s heart lies in the landscape. As she came to identify herself as a painter and sculptor, she was also working as a baker and pastry chef, making breads, desserts and custom wedding cakes. These multiple touch points have informed her attention to detail, love of surface and texture and drive to experiment with materiality. Her work spotlights our place as stewards, protectors and collaborators within our local ecosystems and hopes that it incites people to become inquisitive about the land they inhabit. Growing up near the Dresslerville Reservation and Washo people, she cultivated a deep respect for native lands and indigenous wisdom. She has a strong belief in the power of color to heal, bring joy and remind us of the vastness of our living universe.

Victoria teaches at California College of the Arts in San Francisco and lives in the woods of Occidental.
