Biography
Victoria Smits is an interdisciplinary artist and writer living in Eugene, Oregon. Her practice begins in attention: what she sees, what she notices, what energies affect her body. Smits explores the intersection of these discoveries with generational stories and epigenetic markers. Smits’ work has been shown most recently at Manchester Craft and Design Centre, Scalehouse Gallery, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Old Stone House, and Craft Contemporary. Her poetry can be found in the edited collection Gone Feral: Unruly Women and the Undoing of Normative Femininity through Demeter Press. She studied English, Art, and Secondary Education at Calvin University, received an MA in English Education with a concentration in Creative Writing from University at Buffalo, and an MFA through the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Victoria is a member of the artist collective nHnT.
