Victoria Turnbull is a British born artist and graduate of the Norwich School of Art. Her work often uses ordinary objects, discovering personal poetics in their everyday arrangement and use.Since the beginning of 2015 she has been based in Germany where her practice is developing into theatre and performance.

Her drawings, installations and performances have been shown in venues including the Whitechapel Gallery and Camden Arts Centre, London and the Württembergisher Kunstverein and Kunstraum 34, Stuttgart. In 2012, she was the recipient of the Islington Exhibits artist award for her work ‘The drawn Inventory of all the objects in her studio,‘ 154 drawings recording the artist’s workspace through the objects that she used there. She currently lives and works in Stuttgart and London.
