​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.

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.

Huston Bloomingsnails Mad Lab

Victoria designed and produced a street theatre production with Slo_Coach Theatre for Watford Live Festival 2014. 
"Huston Bloomingsnail had been kidnapping and genetically modifying French snails to create the ultimate snail porridge, and now they want out!" 
"Working with Victoria was fun not only because she is able to produce prize winning costumes on a low budget but also because of her inclusivity in working with different ages."
