As a child growing up in the 1960s, images of Southern California and the Seattle coastline formed Victor’s artistic memory. In his early education, Victor focused on art classes and was fortunate to have teachers and a family that supported his creativity. During his high school years, he received recognition from many galleries, along with winning numerous awards and a commendation from the California Legislature. After high school, Victor attended fine art and graphic design classes at the University of California in Los Angeles. Earning this valued education eventually enabled Victor to return to UCLA and teach seminars on art. Victor currently lives with his family in the Rocky Mountain West and continues his journey as an artist.
