Welcome to my Studio

If you’re reading this, you’ve arrived during the beginning of something.

This website is still a work in progress—much like the paintings waiting on my easel, the manuscripts open on my desk, and the countless ideas filling my sketchbooks and notebooks. Over the coming weeks and months, this space will continue to grow alongside my creative journey.

My hope is that this becomes more than simply a portfolio or a place to purchase artwork and books. I want it to be a place where I can share the stories behind the work, the history that inspires me, glimpses into my creative process, works in progress, and the occasional studio companion—my one-eyed rescue cat, Trixie—who firmly believes every project deserves her supervision.

You’ll also find updates on my historical romance series, The Unconventional Victorians, along with behind-the-scenes research, playlists that inspire my characters, and the beautiful intersections where art, history, and storytelling meet.

Whether you discovered me through my artwork, my photography, my teaching, or my writing, I’m so grateful you’re here at the very beginning.

Thank you for visiting, for your patience as this space continues to evolve, and for supporting independent artists and authors. I hope you’ll stop by often as new artwork, new stories, and new adventures find their way here.

Until next time—

Stay curious, make room for beauty, and never stop creating.

—Victoria

Victoria May

I am an artist, writer, and visual art educator working across mixed media, painting, photography, drawing, and historical romance. My work is rooted in atmosphere, memory, texture, flowers, old architecture, and the emotional pull of imagined places. Whether I am layering paint and ephemera or building a Victorian love story, I am drawn to romantic, weathered worlds where beauty, history, and unconventional hearts meet.
