About the artist: Victoria Weidner served in the U.S. Air Force from 1976 – 1982 and currently lives in the greater St. Louis, Missouri area. Her education has been in Art, Theater and Fashion; she lives for her family and for her art. Like many of her fellow Veterans, Victoria suffers from PTSD and other things, but her time at Visions for Vets and with the VA are helping her cope. Being around fellows veterans has been a way of opening up; she is doing something creative every day, whether it's pencil, watercolors, clay, acrylic, or oil. In her words, “I need to create.”
