Victoria Dugger is a visual artist who lives and works in Athens, GA. Her practice spans painting, mixed media works, and sculpture. Working across these forms, she produces objects that blur accepted categories, exploring novel modes of self-expression and embodiment. She dissects her identity as a Black, disabled woman through a blend of playful compositions and grotesque imagery. Dugger received her B.F.A. from Columbus State University (2016) and her M.F.A. in painting at the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia (2022).
Dugger had her debut New York solo show, Out of Body, with Sargent’s Daughters in July 2021, which was featured in Vogue, Hyperallergic, artnet, ARTnews, Whitehot Magazine, and artdaily. She was selected as a 2023 Georgia Woman to Watch by the National Museum for Women in the Arts and was featured in FRIEZE and The New York Times. Dugger was recently chosen as the 2023 South Arts Southern Prize and was the 2024 recipient of the Hudgens Prize. She is represented by Sargent’s Daughters.
At MacDowell, Dugger created small paintings in preparation for an upcoming group show in Savannah, GA as well as preparing small detailed paintings for her Fall 2024 solo show at Sargent’s Daughters in New York.
