They say that you’re either right brained or left brained- preferring the arts or science. Victoria’s spent a lifetime of busting this myth! She received her PhD studying biology and animal behavior, as well as teaching science. It was during her studies, that a professor discovered she had a knack with art… so she obviously went and illustrated his book. She’s painted still-lifes and landscapes, but also did an in depth study on Christian Iconology and paintings. Talk about a woman of many talents! While Victoria doesn’t teach science anymore, she is teaching some Lakewood members how to speak Ukrainian. When she’s not educating, Victoria enjoys spending time with her husband, Gordon, her daughter and grandchildren. Her studies on animal behavior and horseback riding as a young adult has allowed her to blossom in our program!
