The City of Fremont’s Olive Hyde Art Gallery is proud to present Traces of Light and Stillness, an exhibition showcasing atmospheric landscape paintings by Victoria Veedell.

With her collection of oil paintings, Veedell invites us to “slow down, look inward, and experience the quiet rhythms of the natural world”. Her paintings are inspired by real places but move beyond representation into atmospheric “meditations on memory, mood, and the traces of stillness,” harnessing soft light and utilizing it as a language of emotion. Paths and waterways appear throughout this body of work as a metaphor for our introspective journeys. In a fast-paced world, her collection offers peaceful respite – a “space to linger, to breathe, and to rediscover the quiet power of stillness and light”.

Victoria Veedell received her BFA from Texas A & M, Corpus Christi. She now lives and works in San Francisco. Her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions both nationally and internationally.
