“…Victoria tries to represent places in life that aren’t always something you look at right away…She is very energetic in the way she works with the medium of oil painting. She’s developed that into her own language.” - Allen Coleman, Director of Pickens County Museum of Art and History, Upstate Today.

“Painting and drawing best capture Blaker’s message of life’s energy and beauty. In her “Natural Impressions” exhibit, Blaker has mixed her oils to create thick color that both imitates nature in its subtleties, and exudes vibrancy. Blaker paints to highlight movement in nature. Upstairs at the museum, cocks fight contentiously, trees bow and sweep over water, and cows repose amid a flurry of grasses.”
– Jennifer Pacheco, special correspondent, The Pickens Sentinel.

"...Blaker extends her creative zeal to others - as adjunct faculty and through adult education programs at Furman University.  In her own work, Blaker hopes to mimic flicker and capture movement."
- Matt Wake, Upstate Today.

"Vitality Rules.  Variety is strong suit in Taylors-based artist, Victoria Blaker's "Natural Impressions" (exhibit)
- The Greenville News.

"I was particularly moved by Victoria's portfolio.  Her oils are so luscious."
- Allen Coleman, The Pickens Sentinel.
