Victoria
Christian
Victoria Christian is a self taught oil painter whose mission
is to create images that deeply move her audience on emotional
and spiritual levels. Victoria grew up in the quaint town
of Ashland, Oregon where she first began her career as an
artist. She received her bachelors of Art in sociology and
minored in fine art at Southern Oregon University. After graduation,
she moved to Hawaii and got a job working for Christian Lassen,
a world reknowned marine artist who inspired her to develop
her skills as a painter. Despite her passion for painting,
she returned to the mainland to pursue a Masters in Sociology
at Northern Arizona University (her other passion). For her
thesis, she did research on women artists and identity formation,
which eventually led to another series of research on female
mystics and artists. She is currently publishing a coffee
table artbook titled Artists Envisioning the Divine, which
is due to be released in the spring of 2008. If you are interested
