Victoria Avilan

Award winning author Victoria Avilan was born in Israel in 1957, where she learned art from her mother, and cared for sick NICU babies as a military nurse. She studied creative writing at UCLA with Australian author Claire McNab. When she isn’t scribbling away or twisting herself into complex yoga poses, Victoria still saves lives as a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse. She lives in Southern California with her wife Tracey and their Cocker Spaniels.
