​Art for towns and people

Victoria was commissioned by Watford Palace Theatre in 2019 to produce a marble run spanning the length of Watford town centre as a key part of their upcoming Imagine Festival. A pandemic, budget cuts and a lot of red tape later, "Remembering Eden" emerged in 2022. A quiet, family centred, hopeful response to overcoming adversity. Themed on a ruined heritage garden, real and recycled paper plants emerged from a gently eroding cardboard landscape.

A zero-waste project, Victoria worked with local schools, Watford Recycling Arts Project and Veolia to ensure all the materials used were recycled and would either be reused or recycled again.

Art as heritage.
 
Last year saw the first sustainable fashion community event at Headstone Manor Museum as part of sustainable fashion week, a national event.
Designed and produced by Victoria with significant support from HMM, the people of Harrow participated in multi-faceted green event incorporating arts, talks, competitions and sustainable shopping.

Victoria will return to HMM on 5th October 2025 for more mindful makes using recycled materials.

Art in the Park 2023

Victoria set up the Art in the Park Community Association with fellow artists Jackie Uphill & Eleanor Sidaway. With support from Three Rivers Council and Abbots Langley Parish Council we brought over 20 visual artists to Leavesden Country Park last summer to exhibit work and offer art tasters to the local community. We had a number of live musicians performing on the day.

Artist in Residence. My Story Project.

Funded by Arts Council England, and Hertfordshire Library Service this pilot residency in 2023 was the first in a series of artist residencies in libraries all over Hertfordshire County. You can expect to meet artists, see how they work, pick up new skills and be inspired. Artists will represent a variety of art forms, with the libraries offering free workshops to the public and closed groups by appointment.

Thinking of having you own public art project?

"Herts Inclusive Theatre worked with Victoria on a number of occasions. Her work is consistently of a high standard and delivered on time. She worked with us to develop our requirements, listening to our needs and offering suggestions."
