"The possibility of stepping into a higher plane is quite real for everyone. It requires no force or effort or sacrifice. It involves little more than changing our ideas about what is normal."
- Deepak Chopra
I spend most of my time in some activitiy related to art and painting, graphic design, corp/product imaging. I enjoy time working and communing with other artists. Exploring existential concepts, and spiritual research related to my work is ongoing. To relax I like gettng out for live music/theatre, gallery crawls or spend some time in nature, especially near the water, mountains or desert. I like dancing for exercise, walks on the beach and cooking/entertaining when I can. Love to travel. Favorite places out of the US I've travelled, so far...Prague & Amsterdam.

I'm a no longer an exclusively self-published indy artist...I have the support of an enthusiastic and highly skilled representative, Diane Baldonado, from publisher, Legacy Fine Art. I have always had a passion to paint, and the work is as diverse in subject as it is in syle. Interests range from Romantic, Spiritual, Portraiture and Nudes, to Aquatic Life, Celestial, Metaphysical, Fantasy, Erotica and Pin-up.
This is a 'PG' version of my collection. To see my full portfolio, please go to: web.mac.com/VictoriaMooreFineArt
The censors here have pulled a number of images, feeling they were too risque. While I consider my work more 'R' rated than 'X', evidently they felt they were inappropriate for 14 and over, including the mermaids.
If you wish to use an image, please contact me with your request for licensed use or copyright release, at: art4you@gate.net
Things have been going pretty well lately! Two works are now in the permanent collection of The Smithsonian NASM. (from 'Holes in The Sky' series) • International Awards include: Manhattan Arts International (2), CMYK Magazine, DragonCon® ('05 & '06) & Erotic Signature (2007). All press, articles, awards and show photos from events are organized in the 'Pic's files along with the art, by subject. Most of my work is figurative and of my own inspiration, but I enjoy taking on other subjects, and collaborating on specific projects.
If you are interested in a work. Please contact me about it's availability, pricing, or if it is offered as a limited edition s/n giclee. Licensing requests considerd. If you are within 50 miles of a gallery that is representing me, you will be referred to them. I prefer always to support those galleries who take risks with emerging artists, particularly when the work can be provocative in nature.
Original Paintings. I tend to work more on canvas these days, with less sculptural elements. I often layer watercolors, resins, then finsih and detail the painting in oils. However, many original works that are more heavily sculpted are executed on masonite. My original works tend to be fairly large and most are framed immediately upon completion. The very graphic stylized works are mostly acrylic on either canvas or illustration board.
If you have a work of mine you do not see on this site, chances are I do not have photo record of it. Please contact me and provde an image, so I can have it archived.
About the Limited Editions. I keep my Limited Edition runs small, mostly at or below 300. These are Signed & Numbered Canvas Giclee editions (unless otherwise specified). Most are availalbe in 2 sizes, Standard & Petite. The 'Standard' size reproductions are always slightly smaller than the original. I always reserve the right to pull 15 (in any edition) as a Custom Sized and/or Customed Colored giclee on canvas. Cients are enthusiastic about the option to aquire a totally customixed artwork that I am very personally involved. Dimensions and details are listed at my other websites.
Pricing & Availability. Please contact me about pricing and availability of originals. For Ltd. Editions, turn-around time is approx. 2-4 weeks depending on my schedule and that of the reproduction house. Custom Color/Custom Size will probably run a bit longer. There are two shipping proceedures involved on the limited editions. They are shipped to me for approval & signature, and then onto their destination. Pricing does not include shipping, nor framing on reproductions.
Portrait Commissions. As a State Abassador Volunteer for The Portrait Society of America, I committedly have a passion to capture people on canvas. As you can see, I take a unique approach wth combining styles and elements, allowing a wide variety of options. A pricing guide is available for sandard size ranges, but commissions are considered and priced on a case-by case basis.
