About Victoria
..................................................................
Victoria Marble is an award-winning Ventura County artist with a passion for storytelling through visual art and a particular focus on the fields of graphic design and children’s literature. Victoria's love of drawing led her to pursue a well-rounded artistic background with courses completed in a wide range of concepts and media, including drawing and composition, figure drawing, painting, illustration and web design. She became an executive board member of the Simi Valley Art Association at the beginning of 2015, where she quickly gained local recognition for her pen-and-ink illustrations. Victoria helps coordinate the association's monthly newsletter in addition to attending meetings and art demos, and participating in art shows, galleries, and contests.
As a current active member of the Society of Children's Books Writers & Illustrators, Victoria has participated in critique groups, Sketch Crawls, the Ventura County regional chapter Traveling Sketchbook, and the monthly DrawThis! challenge. Victoria lives in Southern California with her husband and daughter, and three little dogs. When not drawing, reading or writing, Victoria enjoys watching Disney movies with her daughter, eating dessert, and drinking coffee or tea. She is a fan of classical animation, the Great Gatsby and the roaring twenties, and Audrey Hepburn films. Victoria's illustrations incorporate timeless subject matter inspired by images of nature, childhood, dreamscapes, and emotion. She believes that the best artwork can tell a story, yet still remain simple, light-hearted, and whimsical. |
