Victoria Grace Canby identifies art as a grounding root to their life and creates in the spirit of their ancestors-for function, beauty, process and healing.
Their academic journey through a BA in Art History from Sonoma State University, MA in Humanities from Dominican University and Museum Studies Certification from the Institute of American Indian Art in Sante Fe New Mexico and professional background continues to help them to think critically about their responsibility as an artist and fuels their passion for activism.
Their preferred media is anything practical or utilitarian- found, free, gifted, recycled or upcycled materials. The imagery they make delves into their own experience as an Indigenous woman traversing a world saturated in consumerism, commodification, capitalism, and colonization and survivance.
