Hi, I'm Victoria!

🎓 Education & Experience

I graduated from Albright College in Reading, PA in 2010 with a BA in Fine Arts (painting + illustration). From there, my journey looked something like this:

• Freelance graphic + web designer
• Canvas painter & mural artist
• Acrylic painting instructor across Berks County
• Tattoo collector turned tattoo artist
• Tattoo Shop Owner + Tattoo Artist: Neon Moon Tattoo

I spend about 70% of my work week tattooing, and the other 30% working on my mural or canvas painting of the week, and I teach one pet portrait painting class at the shop every week.

🌱 Art & My Roots

 Flying Hills has always felt like home. I grew up here - spending my days chalking up the sidewalks and sketching in the open grassy fields. 🌱✨ That same creative spirit and nostalgia I felt as a kid is still with me every time I pick up a brush. It only made sense to base my art studio right here in beautiful, unique Flying Hills, PA.

🖌️ Why I Paint

Art isn’t just something I do - it’s who I am. It’s helped me heal, explore, and stay connected to the world around me. Whether I’m painting a mural that transforms a space, a custom canvas that tells someone’s story, or guiding others through creating their own pet portraits, my goal is always the same - to share the joy and connection that art brings.

Every piece I create carries meaning - a memory, an emotion, or a story captured in color and texture. Watching someone light up when they see their vision come to life is the most rewarding part of what I do. 💫

🐾 Why 'Calico Cat Cuddles'?

Cats have always been my safe space - their calm presence while I'm painting paired with their playful energy - reminding me to take breaks - they inspire so much of my creativity and remind us that life is about living each day enjoying the things you love. I’ve always been especially drawn to calico cats. Their unique colors and patchwork patterns feel like brushstrokes come to life, each becoming their own little work of art. They’re also said to bring good luck… and what artist couldn’t use a little luck?

🍀

Through Calico Cat Cuddles, I hope to share that same joy and warmth through my art. I love to do projects to raise funds and donate to local animal shelters and rescues, including Humane PA, the Animal Rescue League of Berks, and others that help care for and protect our furry friends. 🐾

🎨 Art Style

I’m especially drawn to colorful, nature-inspired pieces and expressive realism - but I also love experimenting with texture, scale, and mixed media. From cozy, detailed pet portraits to large-scale murals that transform a wall into a story, I’m always excited to collaborate and bring new ideas to life.

🐾 A Few of My Favorite Things

• Cats. Seriously - show me all the pics
• Healthy cooking, tea drinking, and DIY home projects
• Organizing (weirdly satisfying)
• Traveling with my husband
  
• Creative entrepreneurship & marketing
• Connecting with people - your stories, spaces, and pets inspire me
• 
  

Whether you’re commissioning a painting, signing up for a class, or just stopping by to say hi while I work on a mural - I want every experience with my art to feel personal, welcoming, and inspiring.

🫶🏻 Thank You
