ABOUT VIcTORIA

My name is Victoria Cristine Miessler and I am a painter and fashion illustrator based in Santa Cruz, CA.

I create psychedelic feminine felines with cosmic backgrounds and bright colors that celebrate the beauty of femininity, nature and all living beings. I use multiple mediums including acrylic, oils and gouache paints as well as digital illustration.

My creations are for people who are in tune with their spirituality and have a deep appreciation for cats and nature’s pristine elegance. It's for those who are attracted to the expansion of consciousness and fight for human rights and the protection of Mother Earth.

My mission is to use my creations to give us all hope in a world of chaos and remind us of how truly magnificent and intricate this world is, so that we may cherish and embody our own feline femininity.

I was born in Miami, Florida on January 11 of 1992 and moved to Santa Cruz late march of 2021. It truly feels like home for me here. I worked for a fashion company for a year in 2017 and have adopted a love for screen printing and pattern design. That same year I started teaching yoga and a year later began working as a teacher at an after school art academy for grades school students. Introducing yoga into my life has helped me tremendously not only physically but also emotionally and mentally so it is an important part of my life as well as a source of inspiration. On my free time I love to travel to places in nature. Simply being with Mother Earth’s creations is very healing for me and natures magic plays an important role in my work. I love hiking through forests, and visiting waterfalls. I also have a deep appreciation for the beach since I grew up with Surfside beach as my backyard. I absolutely love interacting with animals, especially felines. I have a deep feeling I was some sort of feline species in a near passed life.
