Victoria K. Chapman (she/her)

For those curious, here’s a really old super low-res image of me with striped hair wearing my track uniform the end of my senior year of high school. I’m sure I have better photos somewhere… in a box.

I had “raccoon” hair in 2000. When I first went to UConn my freshman year, I became known as the “girl with the striped hair”. I guess I was a little before my time.

😂 That’s what I felt like getting up this morning.

Thank you!!! 🥰

Boosting this again because it fell through the cracks on my birthday a couple days ago. Odds are good of winning the raffle as of right now!

Yay, snacks!! 😂

Lovely lighting and mood! 💜

Hah! The look on the fish’s face! 🤣

Oh my gosh, I feel this so much. 🩷

Love this image! So beautiful! 🤩

Ahhh!! They are SO cute! I’ll have to show my son when he gets home later. 🥰

Right!! That’s why I remember. Because it’s next to mine and my daughter’s bdays. 😄 Happy early birthday to you!!

Thank you!! 💜 Your birthday is around now too, right?

😂 Thank you! My doggo is definitely not 44 in human years. LOL. We don’t know her bday but her 8 year gotcha day is coming up later this month!

I hope you feel better quickly! 💜🐻

Oh look, another “academic event organizer” of an unnamed institution with vague project information asking me to illustrate for them.

This scam is still going around, eh? Anyone else?

Thanks to everyone for joining us!! Looking forward to next month. 😄 #kidlitart

Thank you again for your awesome banner and for joining us!! #kidlitart

I’ve never been to Europe, but I’d love to see all those places. I’m really interested in the nature-y parts of those areas. And the art of course. #kidlitart

It’s in St. John’s. Might have also been called the Science Centre? It’s been a while since I’ve been there. It was cool though! #kidlitart

Oh gosh. How can I pick just ONE place? I’ve been very inspired by the ocean lately. So, somewhere where I can explore aquatic life perhaps. Or maybe some of the super old growth forests of Europe? I’d love to see giant moss-covered forests. #kidlitart

Oooo!! #kidlitart

Newfoundland is so cool! I went there in 2009. My great grandparents were born there and I got to meet some extended family while I was there. The geology is really interesting. Did you make it to the Geo Center museum? #kidlitart

This is why spring is my favorite! It’s not as buggy yet. LOL. By the time we get to July, they can be too much. #kidlitart
