Victoria Blewer grew up in Manhattan, but bolted for the quiet hills of Vermont. She works entirely with black and white films (sometimes using black and white infrared film), and then she hand-colors the images.

Her work may be seen at Woodstock Gallery in Woodstock, VT; the Vermont State Craft Center in Burlington, VT; the Edgewater Gallery in Middlebury, VT.
