Biography

I have been a working as a Mixed Media Artist for 40years, and have had many One woman exhibitions over this time period. As well as selling work in the United Kingdom I have sold work all over Europe and the United States. My main subject is and always has been Wildlife, although I do paint all other subjects. As well as producing my own work I teach classes in and around Warwickshire and Northamptonshire. I am a member of Marwell International Wildlife Society (MIWAS) , The Wildlife Art Society International (TWASI), a Member of David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation, and the United Kingdom Coloured Pencil Society UKCPS, AWS and the SAA. In the 2010 Annual UKCPS exhibition at Stamford Lincs, I was delighted to have won the award for the most amount of votes received by the public for my drawing of Cheza. This was a portrait of the alpha male wolf in a pack of wolves that I had the greatest pleasure of walking with earlier this year. What an honour! In June 2011 I recieved a Gold Citation in The Wildlife Art Society International (TWASI) Annual Exhibition for depicting animal behaviour typical of the species shown. I was so thrilled !! 2012 I have just received a Highly Commended Award from WILDSCAPE MAGAZINE "WILDLIFE ARTIST OF THE YEAR 2012" this competition drew in entries from Australia,Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain, South Africa, New Zealand, USA and the UK. WOW!What an honour!! Apart from teaching and producing paintings and drawings of wildlife I also produce originals and prints for a wolf conservation group,the AWS which you can access via my website www.victoriaparsons.net
