Light and color suffuse Vicki's work. It has the magical quality of recalling not only the look but the feeling of a place, giving the sense that if you step close to the canvas, you would smell the earth and feel the warmth of the sunlight.

Vicki specializes in plein-air painting, creating small studies on location, then recreating and enlarging them at home in her studio.

"When I see something that awes me, I go out with the mission to paint it - this world is such a beautiful place I am in awe everyday."
