Hello

I'm Victoria (aka Tori, like lorry) a photographer and artist dedicated to the natural world.

On the road for a year house and pet sitting full time is enabling me to make a dream come true and retrain in botanical art and natural science illustration. I get to study rare collections, care for some stunning private gardens and cuddle up with some wonderful animals, though the chickens escaped as I was writing this!

If you would like to help I'd really appreciate it, you can buy a spicy chai or even a rum laden hot toddy to keep my painting hands warm this winter (or fill up the fuel tank!). I have a Wishlist too. I'd be very grateful indeed for your support.

Currently I'm drawing and painting a multitude of unusual plants and outstanding insects, redesigning my new website 'The Big Botanical Tour' and creating some amazing adventures just for YOU to go on.

There'll be art and retreats to buy in 2024 but thank you so for being right here right now and for a very welcome cuppa!

Victoria

PS - YOU can join me on retreat in Sicily, Italy for the first week of May 2024, please get in touch today to reserve your place for your own big botanical adventure!

PPS - The chickens are now home and happy!
