Victoria Sambunaris

Born in 1964, Victoria Sambunaris graduated from the Yale University MFA program in 1999. Sambunaris’ images depict epic stories of geology, commerce, and emigration, all mixed with notions of Manifest Destiny. She explains, “I resist approaching a landscape strictly as an expanse of scenery but view it as an anomaly with an abundance of information to be discovered. Although I am captivated by the idea of how we inhabit our landscapes as we forge ahead in our development, my intent is to transcend political, ethical or environmental ideology and to allow viewers their own notions and meanings.” Her work is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the National Gallery of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, as well as Lannan Foundation, Santa Fe.
