Victoria Wylie

Victoria makes contemporary abstract landscape paintings from her home studio in Angus. Exploring the wilderness of Scotland’s land and seascapes, she creates atmospheric paintings that celebrate nature’s vastness—the ever changing drama of shifting elements and the dynamic interplay of plight where sky, sea and land meet.

Horizon lines fascinate her—a fascination rooted in her upbringing near the North Yorkshire Moors. The vast stretches of openness still inform her work in many ways. Her paintings evoke a deep sense of openness and calm,  yet through expressive brushstrokes, rich textures and bold colour contrasts, she captures the fleeting intensity of stormy skies and golden bursts of sunlight.  The paintings are memories of these moments and while each artwork is a reflection from a particular place, they encompass numerous experiences — each paintings lends a fragment of itself to the next.

Her connection with, and respect for the natural world is central to every mark she makes—a connection she hopes to share with others through her work.

Victoria graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art + Design with a BDes (Hons) in Constructed Textiles, specialising in Gobelin tapestry weaving. She went on to complete a Master of Fine Art.

She has exhibited throughout Scotland and the rest of the UK and has artworks in private collections across the world
