Victoria founded Feather & Wild back in 2016, driven by an unwavering passion for the ethereal beauty of the Lake District and the great outdoors.

Cumbrian born, Victoria loves nothing more than a day out in the fells or a mooch by the lake, venturing North into the Scottish borders & highlands is a treat and where she gathers most of her inspiration for future works.  

Capturing the moody vistas of her favorite places, employing earth-toned hues or the simplicity of a pen sketch to keep the focus on the rugged magnificence of the mountains, Victoria's work is recognisable and can transport you easily into the heart of the fells. 

I was born in the beautiful city of Chester in Cheshire, a place full of stunning history and surrounded by lush green countryside. I have been fortunate to travel and work in many varied parts of the world and my art is heavily influenced by the bright and vivid colours of the Caribbean. I returned to Chester and now live there with my husband and a host of wildlife who have adopted us.

As an eternal optimist, every picture is hand-painted and has a rainbow as a symbol of hope, joy and love in the world.

I’m an artist who hardly ever gets to create anything because I’ve got two kids and a nearly full-time job, so I’ve loved getting back into my art with The SugarShed! When I do carve out time to create something, it’s usually influenced by children’s art, nature, colour and light play. I love playing with art and enjoy the lack of rules and freedom that being creative brings.
