Victoria Stanway paints landscapes from fading memories of growing up in a dying mill town in East Lancashire.
During her childhood she excelled in art, but was uncertain on how to apply this ability. At art school she gained distinctions in all units and headed off to study film at degree level.
After working as a film lighting coordinator for several years, Victoria realised that the world of work was never going to give her the personal gratification she craved. She began to painting landscape in her spare time and this is where her main body of work Landscapes of the Mind was started
She has previously exhibited around the Oxfordshire region, where she now lives, and has future exhibitions planned nationally throughout 2008 and 2009.
