Vicki Clarkson, a watercolor and mixed media artist, draws inspiration from her Appalachian roots, creating expressive abstractions of the natural world. Using vibrant washes and textural contrasts, she celebrates the beauty in imperfections and the ordinary. Her process is intuitive, guided by “color stories” that lead her to the final piece. Vicki’s work has been exhibited widely across the DMV area and featured in “What Women Create.” With a background in fashion and interior design, she combines traditional principles with bold innovation. Vicki now offers art coaching to guide fellow artists on their creative journeys.
