Victoria Dark - Artist Statement

Victoria Dark was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario. Growing up in the South-East end of the city in a small town called Navan, spending more time jumping between hay stacks and chasing barn cats than sitting down to draw a picture.

Dark graduated from Carleton University in 2018 and worked for the Federal Government for three years until May 2020. It was in May 2020 she decided to share a photo of her first watercolour home illustration on her private social media account. This was the beginning of a new chapter, resulting in Victoria Dark Illustrations. 

Dark is now a full-time small business owner creating custom watercolour illustrations of clients’ homes since September 2020. She has since completed over 300 custom orders and is looking forward to growing her business; one painting at a time!
