Victoria White

From her studio in Venice Beach, California, New Orleans native Victoria White wears many hats: painter, sculptor, philosopher, mentor, and teacher. She is renowned for her commanding, large-scale monochromatic portraits that pay homage to the luminaries—artists, musicians, thinkers, actors, and athletes—who ignite her inspiration. White's artistic life emerged from an unexpected turn; a serious health battle necessitated leaving behind her career in corporate law.
