Artistic expression is ultimately the lifeblood of culture and the cornerstone of humanity. Victoria believes it is one of the most important things a community can encourage and protect. It is the poet, the artist, the singer, and other creative voices who ring loudest during times of unrest, hardship, and injustice, just as it is those same voices who guide celebration when a society is truly nourished.

Her work has been featured in public readings, interviews, and community programming within Brock University and across the region. In June, her poem was selected for Call to Artists: Pride in Every Step and featured on the steps of St. Catharines City Hall in honour of the city’s diverse 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Through this initiative, she worked alongside Olivia Hope, Sage Taylor, Shannon McHugh, Jessica Wilson, and other members of the city’s Diversity, Culture, and Arts team. This experience further solidified her belief in St. Catharines’ tangible commitment to creating inclusive initiatives that uplift local voices.

Alongside poetry, visual art has always been a constant in Victoria’s life. She has been drawing for as long as she can remember, experimenting with mediums from sketching and painting to clay sculpting before eventually finding her passion for digital art in 2016. Digital creation allowed her to blend illustration, writing, and design into a single practice. She is the creator of Garden Mandalas and Patterns, a colouring book focused on creative grounding, and Academic Aesthetics, a student planner and colouring book designed to support academic life through visual engagement. She is currently developing additional self guided creative and research based projects, including reflective workbooks and journals that bridge mental health, art, and accessibility.

Writing, beyond poetry, is another central pillar of her creative identity. Victoria works across short-form prose, reflective essays, longer fiction, fantasy, and hybrid projects that blur genre boundaries. She has completed two young adult fiction manuscripts, Quirky Galaxies, a novel exploring young love, poetry, and self-becoming, and And Everywhere, a novel centred on growing up, trauma, disability, and unconditional love through the lens of Canadian travel.

Home remains an important creative anchor for Victoria, but community has become just as vital. She is wildly passionate about supporting local artists, writers, and organizers, and spends much of her time building and participating in inclusive creative spaces across the Niagara region. You will often find her at open mics, workshops, galleries, cafés, or community events. Otherwise, she can usually be imagined buried in blankets and pillows in her cozy corner, iPad in hand, surrounded by books, string lights, her white fluffball of a puppy, and her grumpy nap demon of a cat, purring nearby.

Victoria continues to write, create, perform, and facilitate with the hope of growing alongside her community. Whether through poetry, visual art, workshops, or collaborative projects, her work is guided by the belief that creativity is a shared language. Every conversation, collaboration, and form of support is a valuable piece of that ongoing story.
