A Life Rooted in Story and Soil

Victoria Holmes is an artist and storyteller working at the intersection of Agroecology, Metaphysics, and Sacred Place.

Her work is rooted in the belief that the land is alive, wise, and waiting for us to listen. Through the medium of soil chromatography, foraged pigments, and 24-carat gold leaf, Victoria creates one-of-a-kind artworks that act as portals - back to land, memory, ritual, and the unseen.

Guided by a deep reverence for the more-than-human world, she works with soil and other earth pigments such as clay, iron, kaolin, slate, and mineral dusts to translate the energetic essence of a place into form.

Each piece is part ceremony, part artefact - a visual field where the seen and unseen meet.

For over 20 years, Victoria worked in communications, most recently in the world of organic farming, where she led campaigns and immersed herself in agroecology, and regenerative food systems.

Following a life-altering cancer journey, she was called to return fully to her art, her truth, and the land itself.

The Work

Each piece carries the energetic fingerprint of place. Some honour sacred sites like Glastonbury or ancient stone circles. Others are bespoke commissions, created from the soil of a wedding, ancestral land, or personal pilgrimage. All of them invite reconnection - to self, to earth, to spirit.

“To hold the soil is to hold a story. To place it in art is to remember we belong.”
