Victoria Griffin was born in March of 1972 to a Finnish mother and an American father.  She was raised among the forests and mountains of the southeastern United States and spent many of her childhood summers and holidays with her mother's family in Finland.

Mainly a self-taught artist, Victoria embarked upon her creative explorations at a very early age ... occasionally to be spotted scribbling on walls hidden behind doors. Tales of fantasy and folklore fueled her life-long fascination with the paranormal and metaphysical realm.  Thus, the creatures of Faerie soon became her most inspiring Muses.  The main focus of her art has been to offer others a glimpse beyond the Veil and into their world.  She works primarily with ink and watercolors to create her images. Her artwork appeared on the covers of "Aquarius: A Sign of The Times" and "The Circle of Stones Journal" in 2004, as well as in the books "500 Fairy Motifs" and "Visions of Atlantis in 2005".

Aside from her art, Victoria is also a photographer, published poet and former radio disc-jockey.  In her free time, she enjoys cooking, reading, beachcombing, music, collecting tarot decks and jesters, star gazing and blogging.  She currently lives near Greenville, South Carolina with her husband Jerold, a calico cat named Bronte and two ferrets (Noodle and Nibblet).

When asked if she actually believed in Faeries, Victoria replied: "At least once every alternating Tuesday".
