As a police constable, Vicky was stationed in the city of Edmundston, NB.  She presently lives and maintains a studio in a quiet forest setting close to the city.  She left her law enforcement career to raise her family and opened a stained glass studio which she operated for several years while developing her skills and interest in painting.

The artist has served on many arts-related committees and boards and is an active supporter of the arts.  She is a sought-after teacher of the arts working in the provinces of Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick.

Starting out her painting career as a landscape painter she quickly established herself for her unique and colourful interpretations of the rural back roads and vistas.  Her work has been commissioned and extensively shown in group and solo exhibitions.

She now works in series, employing a variety of techniques and mediums, exploring her connection and interest in the natural environment in an open-ended, process-oriented creative research.
