Victoria Wagner is a former Mills graduate. She teaches at the California College of the Arts. She lectured at Mills in the painting department. Victoria's work is non-representational, working with all mediums, she tries to catch the essence of nature. She explained that if she were to give the class an assignment she would have us choose an animal, and then we were not allowed to directly resemble the animal, we had to catch the essence of the animal either by its surroundings or something relating to the animal. This idea of capturing the essence of the object rather than the object would be interesting not only in painting, but photography as well.

She came to my painting class two years ago, i thought she was great. She talked to us a lot about her grad school experience. I'm glad she's still able to visit other classes.
