I enjoy the metaphors that can arise in paintings, as the experience upon viewing can be so diverse. The juxtaposition of figures in this piece can offer different meanings. One's outlook in the moment, might be of supported mountains, or of clouds. My approach to painting this piece began with the representation of 'mountains of support' and the uphold of weighty challenges in life. I then allowed the floating, lightweight feeling of clouds to come into play. This simultaneously demonstrates a gentle support to light, impermanent circumstances that often hold our attention day to day.

Victoria Mitchell explores emotional, visceral, and environmental sensitivities, through abstract and representational drawings and paintings. She is influenced by extensive studies of body structure and kinetics, and is strongly inspired by connections with our natural surroundings.
"While painting, I absorb into the exploration of environmental, physical & emotional dynamics. These expressions which might otherwise go undefined, demonstrate connections between these different realms of experience. The opportunity for introspection and sharing, brings me excitement and joy in the creation of each piece."
