Hi there! My name is Victoria, and I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California (but live elsewhere now). I first became interested in computer graphics some time circa 1995 when my dad gave me this CD package of some new, up-and-coming computer software at the time which included Aldus Photostyler and KAI PowerTools. I went home that day and created some silly little piece and after that I was totally hooked. A few years later a friend introduced me to Photoshop, and it was love at first sight. Since then I have been teaching myself all things Photoshop. About two years ago I came across an ad in a magazine for DAZ Studio. I had always been a little intimidated by 3D graphics, thinking it was way too hard to do, but I decided to give it a shot anyways. Now I'm equally obsessed (if not more so) with all things 3D as well.
My art is a mixture of DAZ Studio, Poser, Photoshop CS5 and Filter Forge. My other tools of the trade include Hexagon, Silo, ZBrush and Vue, and I also do black & white digital photography and photo restoration on the side. I am a huge fan of classic artists like Salvador Dali, Calder and Leonardo da Vinci, but am also strongly influenced and inspired by the works of contemporaries like Jack Pedota, David Ho, Luis Royo, Olivia and many of my fellow Renderosity artists who continue to inspire me on a daily basis.
I have several college degrees including a BA in English Writing, a BA in Anthropology, and an MS in Evolutionary Ecology (a subdiscipline of Anthropology).I think my ultimate goal with my graphics - what I really hope to get out of all of this - is to create something truly beautiful one day that either someone will deeply appreciate in their heart or that will inspire someone to create something beautiful. Thanks for stopping by . . . and happy rendering!V.

vyktohria! sometimes the story IS the Pretty girl and her expressions and such!!! but I tell you what I have learned, art is about drawing emotions from the listener or viewer! Emotions! Some emotions come from stories some from a funny or cute subject some from the memories within US and how an image or song triggers them!!! THIS IMAGE IS LOADED WITH EMOTION!!! and to me it tells a BIG story! for some it will make them happy, or nostalgic, for some sad! guess what that IS art!

some artists don't like to say what they were thinking when creating an image, some don't even like to leave even a clue, but i feel ALMOST every image has a story. to me, she looks like a bride that has finally given up waiting... she even outlasted the audience.... she has a good attitude and is just walking away, she's not worried what happened, she just knows something happened and she's gonna do her best to get to the next crossroad.

The lyrics in an old Rod Stewart song say "every picture tells a story"... it just says something different to each of us, like crucnch said. She doesn't look unhappy to me, or even resigned. The best is yet to be...

I think many times, the story is meant to be told by those who view the image. This is just beautiful, Victoria! Sometimes an image will just lead you in the direction it wants to go - and those are frequently the best; at least for me.. At any rate, this is gorgeous, my friend! I just got that Glass & Mirrors set - can't wait to play...

Wonderful lighting and reflection effects. The girl is stunning with her wedding dress and this elegant pose. No doubt it's a beautiful scene. Without any story to tell ? Let's see. Here's a lovely girl who is about to live the most beautiful day of her life. Unfortunately, the mirror, which never lies, is showing something less sparkling and more cloudy. But she doesn't take care about that, she only wants to see the sunny time and to forget the clouds. I'm absolutely not meaning that this story has a link with you, it's just what I can see through the picture.
