About the Artist

Victoria Kieschnick, or Tori, is a disabled artist working in central Colorado. Tori does digital art, gouache painting, acrylic painting, 3D modeling for 3D printing, crochet, and whatever creative hobby strikes her fancy in the moment. Tori has a small amount of classical art training, so her style and voice have primarily been honed through hands on exploration that guides her creativity in unique ways. As an autistic artist, Tori feels that her neurodivergence gives her a unique point of view that sets her work apart.

​

Before becoming a full time artist, Tori worked for 4 years as a music teacher and freelance painter. After her decline in health, Tori began designing functional art pieces that help meet access needs many disabled people have. Tori loves crafting novel products that solve real world problems, and foster self expression for disabled and chronically ill people at any stage in life. Tori has a passion for innovative design that is both functional and fashionable, and her portfolio of work reflects that passion,

When she is not painting or designing, Tori enjoys spending quality time with her 3 children, making TikTok content, playing video games, reading fantasy novels, playing with her standard poodle Nova, and ​writing or playing music.​
