Vicki Damon - Artist Statement
To be lucky enough to grow up in New York is lucky enough.
Surrounded by world-renowned museums, Broadway, ballet and studying with art professors from around the world, I was able to grow in my art.
After leaving New York and studying Commercial Art at East Carolina University, I was sidetracked. I was lucky to have a very challenging and accomplished career in the technology field.
Several years well-spent working with many hard working, knowledgeable and driven people really fulfilled my goal and result oriented work style.
Then, the dream came true. I met my soulmate, moved aboard a boat and sailed into the sunset. This not only was a fantasy of a lifetime to live on the water, swim in many oceans, but also to experience cultures around the world. The many people, places and numerous landscapes pulled me back into the impressions that one needs to build the imagination.
My hope is to share my art and my dreams with other people through my silk paintings as well as my watercolors. I wish to see my work hanging where other people can appreciate the colors and vividness of the many streams that make up our lives and bring people together.
My silks as well as my watercolors have shown in North America, Bahamas and Central America. I am part of the permanent collection at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. I have also painted numerous commissions for clients in Europe, Canada, the Bahamas, and North and Central America. |
