nature's light,and how it changes while painting landscape, still-life, and floral,
while painting in the classic, old master style of Rembrandt and other
twentieth-century old masters.

knew very young she wanted to be an artist. She developed her painting style by
studying the old masters, and taking workshops from David Leffel, Carol Novotne,
Jim Stevens, and numerous other artists to pursue her love of Oil, Acrylic and
Watercolor. Her art reflects a lifelong love of nature, and can be described as"
Impressionistic Realism". As a girl, Vicki developed a strong appreciation for
nature, and respect for conservation of natural resources. Her gallery site shows
recent work that has been influenced by the impressive Rocky Mountains and the
sandstone hills of Eastern Montana.
