Victoria Blewer was born in New York City and is a graduate of Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. She refined her art with classes at the New School in New York City, the Visual
Studies Workshop in Rochester, NY and the University of Vermont. She works entirely with black and white films printed on porous paper, which are toned for color and longevity. The photographs are then hand-colored with oil paints – light layers of paint are applied gently to the photograph until the color application is smooth and even.
Known for her classical compositions, tranquil hues and exacting craftsmanship, Blewer continues to work in Lincoln, Vermont where she lives with her husband and daughter.
