Victoria Schuster-Henshaw is a miniaturist who began creating miniature scapes in 2020 as a method of coping with the monotony of the pandemic lockdown. Her work initially began with making tiny objects out of polymer clay, but has since progressed to using mostly found items, especially focusing on transforming items that would have otherwise been thrown away, including styrofoam, one-use plastics, scrap metal and discarded wood pieces. She lives in the Hudson Valley with her ever-supporting and encouraging husband and their two cats, who are equally supportive and encouraging.
