Victoria Hilliard
Victoria Hilliard has developed her kiln fired relief ceramic pictures over the past 25 years. In that time victoria has moved around England but always returned to her native Cornwall.
Victoria loves 2 dimensional painting and drawing but always gets pulled back into working the clay in to the image she wants to present.
"It can take years sometimes for ideas to ferment and then finally come out as a finished work. My head never stops looking, developing, absorbing colours or sketching ideas. I have far more ideas than I can produce, which is frustrating. Much of my time is taken up in the organising, delivering, and selling the work. I also have a family that mean a lot to me and take much time, so my actual studio time is tight."
Victoria shows in selected galleries and has in the past shown in London and New York.
Victoria's work is informed by a cocktail of; her horticultural experience on Scilly, training in Graphics and Fine Art, an extensive family who all seem to be creative in one way or an other, parents who were market gardeners and potters, brilliant teachers, and all the Penwithian life around her.
