Victoria Gray, a widow with four grown adult children, lives in St. Louis, Missouri. She owned and operated Pro-Q Auction and Estate Sales Company for 10 years, after which she began her full-fledged Estate Sales by Victoria business in 1999. Her areas of appraisal competence include antiques, furniture, art, collectibles, glassware, jewelry, figurines, pottery, toys, and depreciating residential contents.
She has held various positions, such as a public speaker of historical fashion shows via Designs and Creations by Victoria (2005–2014), vice president of the St. Louis Writers Guild, and art director for Wentworth Art Galleries. While an art director, she gained knowledge of contemporary artists and traveled to Sweden for an art education course. Victoria owned an antiquities and collectibles store and a design store called Quilts Etc. She is an apt seamstress, and customers of a local Laura Ashley store hired her to decorate, design, and create such items as window treatments, slip covers, and quilts.
Sipping a cup of her favorite English tea, Victoria journals every morning as the sun comes up. New books are created within her 70 journals to date, such as The Secret of a Widow’s Vision: The Vision from Within, Life after Life with Dad, Detective Q Mysteries series, My Sister’s Salvation, and more.
