Victoria Fontaine Wolf
Victoria Fontaine-Wolf studied at the Folkestone School of Art and Brighton College of Art gaining a B.A. in Art and Design.
She has travelled to the U.S.A., Venezuela, Martinique, Curacao, Jamaica, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Bahrain and the Channel Islands, between working for Portrait Associates executing portraits in public schools in England, including Benenden and Eton.
Victoria spent seven years in Australia painting figurative works and murals and illustrating diving magazines.
She moved to Germany dividing her time between there and England, carrying out similar work as well as creating 'Old Master' copies, whilst giving art classes and travelling abroad for commissions.
Victoria prefers to paint from life, though if sittings are not possible e.g. > posthumous portraits,or where the portrait is a surprise or the subject is unavailable, she will work from photographs. She works quickly, feeling that this makes the Portrait more spontaneous and naturally it is a great advantage with children, whose patience is limited.
Victoria works in conte, pastel and oils.
