Victoria (Tory) Voner is from the Boston area, where she started painting and creating art at an early age. In her work, she expresses her love of the Vermont mountains and east coast oceans. Traveling to most of the National Parks in the United States was a family endeavor that blossomed an attraction and love of nature. Even in those early days, Tory had an understanding of the need for respect and preservation of all of the beautiful sights and landscapes this country had to offer.
Over the past 10 years, Tory has honed her focus into a love of painting by seeking where her passions lie. Escaping the chaos of the world around her, she has come full circle by returning to nature, reflecting on herself and her emotions. Using the values of impressionist perspective, colors, and textures, she challenges herself emotionally in a different way with each and every painting. Acrylic is her medium of choice, and the larger the canvases she selects, the more expression of space she has to utilize and share.
Tory went to school at UMass Dartmouth for Illustration, which included not only a strong foundational program but specialist courses in painting. After graduation, she worked for an event decor company as a designer while learning tricks of the trade and advancing her skills on the job. She now works at MIT Lincoln Laboratory as a specialist designer. Tory also obtained a Certificate in Graphic Design from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She currently is a member of the Whistler Museum of Art, the Brush Gallery, and the Arts League of Lowell.
