NEW STUDIO PHONE (925) 626-7121 ABOUT THE ARTIST Victoria Heisler was born in Riverside, NJ and grew up in Neptune Beach, FL. At an early age she became interested in painting and drawing. She graduated from UCLA and began doing archaeological and botanical illustration for Computer Sciences Corporation. Many of her illustrations were destined for the government at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Later, her work in the travel industry was the genesis for Victoria’s unique style as well as one of her decorative themes. Extensive travel throughout the Greek Islands and the American Southwest developed her love for, and appreciation of, the broad, flat surfaces, and the clean whites and blues of Mediterranean and adobe architecture, as well as the whimsical nature of farmyard chickens. Her ceramic pieces are hand painted on white earthenware. Her pieces are lead free, and oven and dishwasher safe. Victoria has shown her oils at the Gallery de los Colores in Taos, New Mexico. Her ceramics are sold in galleries throughout the United States. She has been the featured artist at Clay Orbit in Cockeysville, Maryland, People's Pottery, Tour de Clay in Baltimore, Border’s Books and Music, and ArtFX in Annapolis, Maryland. Victoria resides in Discovery Bay, California.
