Artist Biography

As an enthusiastic dancer herself, Victoria Jenkins was inspired to create a lively collection of clay sculptures based on the people at these “old time fiddlers” events.  Dancing has been a recurring theme in her work.  Victoria fell in love with clay during her studies in fine arts at the University of Regina.  After graduating in 1981, she established her own studio in Ottawa.  She now lives, works, and teaches pottery in Carleton Place, Ontario.   Victoria exhibits regularly with the Ottawa Guild of Potters and Arts Carleton Place.
