Victoria Ann ANDERSON

Well, this explains why Victoria has so been on my mind. I just told my friend I was going to an expressive art zoom meeting with Victoria and she said you mean Kathleen right and I said oh did I say Victoria I didn´t mean Kathleen but whenever I go to an expressive art event, Victoria is always with me. We miss you, dear lady you are remembered.

I am honored to have known Victoria, worked with her, and learned from her over the past 20+ years as a friend, student, business partner, and fellow expressive artist. I miss her passion, and creative, fun presence. She touched so many lives through her expressive arts practice and teaching. She will remain in my heart and memory with love. I share my deepest condolences with her family and loved ones.

I met Victoria at Expressive Arts Florida Institute where she helped to guide me through the program. She was funny, smart, deeply creative, and always authentic. At the IEATA conference in Berkeley, Victoria and I rode a bus out to a ranch for an expressive arts equine workshop. I will never forget her smiles and laughter while hanging out with her beloved "hosses". I am so grateful for the influence she had on my creative journey, and I will miss her greatly. I send my deep condolences to...

Thank you Victoria for being a loving expressive arts teacher to me. Your kindness and encouragement carried many gifts for me. Much love and blessings to your family. Indeed, your life has had much meaning for me and other students.

Sending her love , peace and gratitude for all she gave me over the years. She will be greatly missed.

My heart is heavy as I read the announcement of Victoria's passing. I am so grateful to have been in her first class of Expressive Arts at Ringling, and she was a guiding light, a compassionate mentor for all of us. I truly relied on her expertise and support in those years as I was introduced to the arts. I am very sad. Her guide bird and poem are so insightful and so reflective of the person I knew.

In loving memory of Victoria.

Heart of a flower
Spirit of a warrior
Always in my heart.

My deepest sympathy to Victoria´s family and friends and students. I knew her as a student at Ringling when I was pursuing a Certificate in Art & Healing, which preceded the Expressive Arts Institute. She was an amazing teacher and person, and I am saddened to hear of her passing. I will never forget the impact that she had on my life at that time. I will continue to remember her as well as my other teachers as I continue using expressive art with my clients. May she be happy and at peace....
