Artist Victoria Johnson, a native Southern Californian inspired by the place she calls home, is an independent designer, commercial illustrator and award-winning digital fine artist. Since entering her first painting in a statewide competition at age seven, to earning a degree in Commercial Art and Design, creativity has been her calling. 

Sketching and painting had always been a hobby, but not long after her career as an independent designer blossomed, her brushes and canvases were traded for design softwares and hard deadlines. In 2018 two things happened: changes in the industry made her question the future of being an independent designer, and a friend gifted her a digital pen and sketchpad. She started digitally sketching and painting with an intensity and focus she could only describe as supernatural; The Sketchie Beast had been unleashed.

Since putting digital pen to pad six years ago, she has participated in gallery showings throughout Southern California to Northern California, El Paso TX to Bethlehem PA. She has had five solo exhibitions, four public installations, has illustrated five children’s books, two of which are award-winning, and is a board member of the La Habra Art Association.​
