VICTORIA CHAMPION

For over a decade, Victoria Champion has brought glamour and joy to San Antonio's art scene. During her time as a Duchess in The Order of the Alamo's Fiesta Court, she fell in love with San Antonio's rich culture. This love, as well as her own experiences as a Duchess, have brought a real sense of authenticity to her Fiesta inspired art. Ever since the completion of her first Duchess Portrait in 2016, her main focus has been on creating treasured pieces that can be passed down for generations.

Over the past 15 years, I have embraced the expansion of the "customizable" side of my business, and I have viewed it as an opportunity to leave my comfort zone. After moving to San Antonio and participating in the 2013 Fiesta Court, I began to offer Duchess Portraits, which led to Crown Portraits, and then, finally, hand-painted champagne bottles. This wide exploration of different subjects and mediums has given me clarity in my longterm artistic goals. I seek to capture the joyous harmony that lies within the balancing of traditional and modern. I also hope to reignite an appreciation for the concept of timeless beauty and highlight how quickly it can be overlooked in today's fast-paced, consumer-focused society. Lastly, with the addition of lighthearted, random accents, I want to bring a sense of joy and amusement to our chaotic everyday life.

I currently live in San Antonio, Texas with my husband, our 3 yr old son, and our two adorable fur babies - Bruce and Dory. Each year, I discover something new and fantastic about this beautiful city, and I look forward to continuing to be a part of San Antonio's vibrant local art scene.
