Victoria Hempstead is a multi-disciplinary artist, working mainly between the mediums of mark-making, sculpture and installation. Driven by a fascination of binary relationships and the body's ephemeral relationship to the land, Hempstead's work engages with ideas surrounding ecological issues, the craving for a deeper connection with the world around us and our basic struggle between constancy and change.

Hempstead was the recipient of the University Postgraduate Award (2011) and subsequently completed her MFA at Parsons, The New School (NYC), and Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney. Her work has been exhibited as part of Critical Animals at TiNA Festival and her past selected exhibitions include Negative Capability Alaska Projects, Ebb and Flow Articulate Project Space, Over Sensitive Parsons Fine Arts (NYC) and It's A Small Small World Family Business Gallery (NYC).

In 2019, Victoria was named a finalist in the Kennedy Prize, the Clayton Utz Art Award and the Incinerator Art Award, and was awarded an Art Incubator Grant for 2020. Victoria Hempstead’s Art Incubator solo exhibition was held in 2020 at Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert, Sydney. In the same year she was a joint winner of the Macquarie Bank Emerging Art Prize and her work was aquired for the Macquarie Bank Collection.
