When the COVID-19 lockdown hit in 2020 she decided she would now focus on the hobby fulltime and turn it into a business. Victoria shares. \u201c<em>I just had so many ideas I haven\u2019t stopped since! If I were to sum up my art style it would be: Idealised aerial embroidery that aims to invoke feelings of nostalgia.\u201d&nbsp; <\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The journey of the last six years has made many highlights for Victoria including securing her first magazine feature in June 2019 and being part of a joint exhibition in London. However, what stands out for her most is when she completed her largest piece, <a href=\"https:\/\/victoriaroserichards.co.uk\/work\/a-peaceful-place-somewhere-out-there\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a 18-inch landscape<\/a>. Victoria explains, <em>\u201cI started my embroidery journey doing small 3\u20134-inch ones and as I gained confidence in my art, the landscapes got bigger and bigger, cumulating in that piece. To me is symbolised the confidence I\u2019d gained in my ability to handle large projects. Now I want to do an even bigger one\u2026 I have an 18 x 24-inch hoop ready to go for a massive long-term project I\u2019ve had in the back of my mind for the past year!\u201d&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"930\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/alumni-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2025\/04\/Victoria-Richards-Embroidery-News-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/alumni-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2025\/04\/Victoria-Richards-Embroidery-News-2.png 930w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/alumni-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2025\/04\/Victoria-Richards-Embroidery-News-2-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/alumni-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2025\/04\/Victoria-Richards-Embroidery-News-2-768x413.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Victoria\u2019s pieces take inspiration mainly from the British landscape (specifically Devon, her home county!) but she doesn\u2019t tend to copy real-life places outside of commissions as she likes to make things up as she goes and see what the landscape ends up like.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"930\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/alumni-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2025\/04\/Victoria-Richards-Embroidery-News-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/alumni-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2025\/04\/Victoria-Richards-Embroidery-News-5.png 930w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/alumni-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2025\/04\/Victoria-Richards-Embroidery-News-5-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/alumni-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2025\/04\/Victoria-Richards-Embroidery-News-5-768x413.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Real image &#8216;A new perspective&#8217; middle top credit to Peter Kane, and real image &#8216;Landscape in pointillism&#8217; credit to Andrea Ku.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This connection Victoria has to Devon made us wonder how much of an impact her time at Exeter, studying at our Streatham Campus, and living in Birks Grange for the full three years, made on her and her art.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She shared that some of her favourite memories from her university days include the spring flowers<strong> <\/strong>blooming in the campus grounds. Victoria went on say, \u201c<em>I often walked to Reed Hall to explore, immerse myself in the trees and watch the fish in the pond area. I remember in my first spring there, I saw this huge bright pink rhododendron in full bloom tucked behind the hall\u2026 for the rest of my time there I looked forward to April to watch it flourish again. I also loved the tiered pond area at the end of the road past the Amory Building \u2013 the wildlife was so rich there and I found a big row of rhododendrons in purples, pinks, whites and red at the far end. The wildflower meadow behind the sports centre was another favourite, I would go orchid hunting there and occasionally there was\u00a0deer running through the trees. I grew up in the countryside so I\u2019m very nature focussed! It&#8217;s why I chose the University of Exeter for my studies, I found their grounds to be the most beautiful.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"930\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/alumni-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2025\/04\/Victoria-Richards-Embroidery-News-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1085\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/alumni-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2025\/04\/Victoria-Richards-Embroidery-News-7.png 930w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/alumni-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2025\/04\/Victoria-Richards-Embroidery-News-7-300x161.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/alumni-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/151\/2025\/04\/Victoria-Richards-Embroidery-News-7-768x413.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We also wanted to know what advice Victoria would give to any alumni or current students who are aspiring artists, and she shared, \u201c<em>Don\u2019t be afraid to fail or make bad art! Progress isn\u2019t linear and we all have to make \u2018bad\u2019 art before we make the art we find pride in. I struggled at the start to get my ideas out the way I wanted and I\u2019m glad I pushed through it rather than giving up<\/em>.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, given that Victoria\u2019s art feels so magical and the aerial view it is created in makes you feel could step into the land she\u2019s depicted we wanted to know: Would she rather have the power to make her embroidery come to life, or travel through the art to the place it&#8217;s based on?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Victoria said, \u201c<em>I\u2019d rather have my embroidery come to life!
