Victoria’s Artistic Mission

Welcome to Weyakin Designs, home of the art of Victoria K. Chapman. Enter a world of whimsy and magic full of the joy and spirit of nature’s beauty. Victoria’s work draws on the power of the Earth to bring colorful visions to life through painted and drawn illustrations, poems, stories, and other creative projects.

Victoria is passionate about nature, the environment, social justice, and being kind to others. She draws upon mindfulness, empathy, and compassion in all of her work. One of her missions is to bring a sense of wonder and beauty to the world through art in order to foster an appreciation for all creatures, the Earth, and the diverse people we have on this planet. Sometimes that involves a touch of magic and fantasy, because she believes that a playful spirit keeps the heart in a good place.
