Elected a Member of the RCA in 1992.Victor studied at Liverpool College of Art and Birmingham Teacher Trainining College. He is a Past Vice President of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, Past President of Birmingham Watercolour Society, and President of the Easel Club. "My senses are stirred by places and moments that conjure a spirit of romance, adventure, and magic. A wild gale at sea, some discarded boat that has served its time, or a moving patch of light are the stimuli for my paintings. The painting process is both intuitive and intellectual and I strive to produce work based on great and permanent principles of drawing, composition and colour."
