Perth artist Victoria Van Dongen studied Visual Art in 2001 at Central Tafe and Visual Art at Edith Cowen University in 2008 as part of a Bachelor degree in education. Victoria is predominantly a contemporary landscape artist, painting various locations found in Western Australia.
She is at home amongst nature, by the ocean and walking in the national parks. These places are often featured in her artworks and hold memories of days exploring with her family.
Victoria’s work is expressive and playful. She uses strong brushwork, colour and pattern to capture the beautiful landscapes surrounding the city of Perth and our South West.
Her emotional connection with the landscape is evident in the landscapes she paints.
Victoria acknowledges the Noongar People as the traditional owners of the land upon which she lives and works. She pays her respect to elders both past and present, and thanks them for their culture and continuous care of this precious land.
