Victoria Wheeler is from Oahu in the Hawaiian Islands. She graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston in association with Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in the spring of 2015. She has a background in papermaking, jewelry design and fabrication, and printmaking.  Her current work, inspired by the natural landscape of Hawaii, uses paper as sculpture in a large-scale installation. Victoria is interested in the struggle between nature and the artificial by reproducing nature using other materials, creating an “artificial” nature. 

 Victoria works mostly with handmade paper. She enjoys how she can manipulate it at every stage of the process.  She is currently interested in working large scale in paper in the form of sculpture and installations. She has also studied jewelry design and fabrication as well as various forms of printmaking including lithography, etching, monoprint, woodblock, and screen-printing. 

Focusing on preserving the beauty of what nature has provided, Victoria's art has been inspired by nature and greatly influenced by her life at home in Hawaii. Nature’s architecture, structure and form have always motivated her art.
