Victoria Calder is a West Berkshire-based painter whose vibrant, semi-abstract paintings are inspired by the landscapes, seascapes and everyday details of the world around her. Born on a farm in rural Perthshire, Victoria retains a strong connection to the wild landscapes of Scotland, alongside influences from her travels and the countryside close to her home in Kintbury.

​

Working predominantly in oils and acrylics, Victoria embraces an instinctive and exploratory approach to painting. Loose, expressive marks and a joyful use of colour give her work a distinctive energy, whether she is painting a remote landscape, a windswept seascape or a collection of everyday objects that have caught her eye.

​

Victoria paints daily from her cottage kitchen studio, working outdoors whenever possible and developing paintings from sketches and photographs. Her refusal to be confined by a particular subject or medium keeps each new painting an adventure, with the overlooked and unexpected often providing the starting point.

Victoria is taking part in a Group Show Catalyst!  in early 2027.
