Violet was born in the cold north, surrounded by a community of outdoorsmen and artists. She spent her childhood drawing, painting and spending time with her beloved Aunt who was a highly respected artist. Summer days were spent in the alpine meadows sketching wild flowers. Violet became a prolific sketcher and by the age of 16 she decided to explore the world of her older sister.

It was there that she began collecting vintage postcards and ephemera at old antique stores and flea markets.
