About The Artist
I’m Victoria Smith-Davila, a Venezuelan American artist in San Diego, California. I was raised in an artistic household where my creativity was encouraged from the beginning. As a Master Luthier (violin maker) my Dad was my introduction to master craftsmanship and my Mom sparked my love of music and dance. It is from that expression of joy, connection, and movement that I am drawn to moments of deep emotion and being fully present.
Through my experience with Type 1 Diabetes I learned at an early age that moments have the meaning we give them. I celebrate the beauty and spirit of a moment whether it be joyful or heavy, and through them seek out my connection to the world, those around me, and my own truths.
My highest goal is to joyfully celebrate the spirit, energy and light in those around me. And I firmly believe that we shine brighter when we help others shine brighter.
