About the Artist

Our lives are busy and full of distractions.

We want to come home to a place of peace and joy.  When you love a piece of art you can build your decor around it to create a space that is uniquely your own.  Real art has energy and elegance that will bring life to any room. 

Are you looking for a piece of art to love for the rest of your life?

 

I can help you with a unique oil painting that will personalize the look of your space.  

I specialize in fine art oil paintings using techniques of the old masters and impressionists; a style some call Classical Realism.  Subjects are modern or timeless with a softer take on the world than the Photo Realism style.  I use high quality materials to create custom heirloom quality portraits and paintings.  My study has been continuous with a variety of classically trained artists such as Wei Li Wang, Polly Lui and William Kalwick Jr., Huihan Lui, Michael Shane Neal as well as North Light Art School and Studio Incamminati.   I am a member of Portrait Society of America, Oil Painters of America and Outdoor Painters Society.  

My experience with painting from life gives me the ability to understand my subject and the nuances of color and light needed to bring life to the subject.

What they’re saying

Ruby Gaines

“I recently had Vicky paint a picture of my husband during a Marathon race as a surprise present. The experience was absolutely marvelous. She was able to capture a moment in the race that expressed its true significance. The details of the painting conveyed a sense beckoning triumph, an accomplishment just in bloom. This painting embodies everything my husband’s races provide – serenity, purpose, vitality, and a commitment to health for himself and his family. Vicky, thank you for an awesome experience.”

 

Matt Byrd

“The painting was a big hit!”

 

John Walker
