Hi! I’m Victoria Boyd, a Pre-Art Therapy major here at Taylor. I’ve loved painting ever since I was 4 years old and have grown into my style over the years. During my senior year, I finished most of my pieces for my portfolio and they ended up being recognized in a national competition! Ever since then, I have had the hope that other people may see my work and reflect on what it means to them. My pieces always have some sort of meaning behind them, but art is whatever the viewer sees it as, so hopefully, when you see my work, you are able to think about what it means to you!
