Much of her fine-art work begins by carefully arranging real objects (not images) on a flatbed scanner, sometimes using textured cloth for the background. While some of her work is realistic, quite often the combinations of items are not normally found together, which adds interest to the piece and contributes to her unique style. For instance, she may float pistachios in mint jelly or pour milk next to a jellybean. She also likes to disassemble everyday objects and present them in a new way. For instance she might remove the petals from a rose and rearrange them behind a bright white daisy. The composition is then transferred to Photoshop where she applies her own vision of color, light and shadow – removing unwanted elements and creating new ones. Orange Jello becomes a cave painting, kiwis and strawberries become an alien beach, dinner rolls are transformed into a bold abstract. The viewer is immediately struck by the intimacy and intensity of many of Victoria’s pieces. Everyday objects are seen with the emotional drama of the poet’s heart and the eye of a scientist. The result is a body of work that is unique, beautiful and organically powerful.

"I rarely form a picture of the final image and then try to achieve it; I start with an interesting scientific-art experiment and then I see where that takes me. I see the objects in the world as a source of color, light and texture - tiles for me to put together in my mosaic. I ponder them on a molecular, three-dimensional and spiritual level. It doesn't matter what their usual purpose is, they are reduced (or elevated) to becoming a part of the experiment. I love reforming the parts of the universe within my reach into new objects, into a surprise. My more traditional flower work is about honoring nature’s own grand experiment. I will spend hours working in the intimate, silent presence of an iris, flying about its petals, and finally feel satiated. My favorite toy as a child was a microscope – now I continue to play and create these images because I am driven to do so, because they quiet me, humble me, and fascinate me more than anything else in the world."
-Victoria Twomey
