Vicki is a watercolour and oil painter living in Mona Vale. Inspired by her love of swimming in her local ocean pool, she is particularly drawn to paint the women who share each morning with her. Vicki also works on a miniature scale and has won numerous awards for her intricate small works.
‘My current work reflects my love for swimming each morning on Sydney’s Northern Beaches and the women that share each morning with me at Mona Vale beach.
I am inspired by this community of like-minded souls, their warmth and strength, love of life and age defying beauty. I aim to capture small moments in time and the various and constantly changing moods of each new day’.
