Victoria Fout
Not an Owl
Life can be very hard so I try to add a splash of color and whimsy by imagining my own fantastical worlds and beings, exploring the duality between fantasy and reality, light and darkness, life and death, expressing emotion, and reimagining nature. I create fantastical creatures within surreal landscapes using acrylic on canvas as my main choice of medium.
I love a colorful palette, and creating different textures so much that in some pieces, I manipulate and sew raw canvas, include 3-dimensional elements such as fabric, rocks, jewelry, etcetera, to elevate the painting experience to bring my fantastical worlds even more to life.
I grew up in Angels Camp, California. I found my love for art at community college during the most difficult time in my personal life. Art became my liferaft; I found comfort, escape, therapy, and a creative outlet. I am now an emerging fine artist with a fresh and unique perspective, who earned her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2016. My artwork has been shown at SFAI, the Calaveras County Fair, Ironstone Vineyards, and at the Calaveras County Arts Council. I'm currently an exhibiting artist at Manzanita Arts Emporium in Angels Camp and a board member at the Calaveras County Arts Council
Lost within my own darkness I find the colors of expression and joy when I paint. My art is an invitation into my world, welcome.
