Victoria (Vicki) Soar

I am a mixed media portrait artist and registered art psychotherapist. I have exhibited internationally and worked across commissions, street art, and both group and solo exhibitions. For me, portraiture is a way of bringing people together and is a powerful tool for self-discovery and healing.

I was born in England and immigrated to Australia ten years ago, and I am now grateful to be an Australian citizen. Portraiture has followed me throughout this journey, documenting my life, relationships, and community. Alongside my art practice, I run a private therapy practice and have seen firsthand the transformative impact creative expression can have on others.

Education:

BA Fine Art – Oxford Brookes University

MA Art Therapy – University of Derby

Further professional training in Australia specialising in trauma-informed art therapy, play therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
