After many years as a playwright, Victoria Ward moved to rural Ontario and began making paintings based on the concept of wilderness and the narratives embedded in the landscape. For Ward, the land lives in each of our imaginations and has as much to do with our inner lives as with the temporal world. Through her work, Ward explores the layered stories of lives lived and buried, mountains built and crumbled, seas rising and falling and stars shining and dying. Through her work, Ward asks us to consider who we are in relation to place; what is our place when we are here, how does place transform over time and how does that transformation impact us? Ward has had over 40 exhibitions of her work throughout Canada and the UK.
