About Tori
Victoria “Tori” Smyth is a painter who is currently going through a floral phase, with a love for the occasional rocky landscape. After graduating from the University of Guelph’s Studio Arts program, Tori worked in museums and galleries for two decades before actively returning to her art practice, and has been creating bold portraits and landscapes, drawing from her love of nostalgia, nature, and colour. Since becoming a mother, she has focused on using mediums that are easily accessible and can be dropped quickly to chase children, which has allowed her to think of creating art in new and different ways. When not painting or wrangling boys, Tori can be found working at Art Noise & Tri-Art Manufacturing in Kingston as their Director of Education
Fun fact: most of the titles of Tori’s pieces are inspired by song lyrics and remind Tori of her days as a teenager on MSN messenger.
