My Work
About Vickie VanHurley
"When I draw, I'm translated to a different place, it's an indescribable feeling. It takes me to a place of peace, satisfaction, and excitement! I especially enjoy the moment when a piece starts to materialize beyond my preliminary sketch. I refer to it as "it's coming alive." The human face has always been my subject matter of choice. I believe it's because of the emotion, information it communicates and its beauty and authenticity. My creative tools of choice are graphite pencil, colored pencil, and ballpoint ink pen. I love the drama the graphite pencil adds to my subject. I also love the vibrant color of both colored pencil and ballpoint ink pen as it brings bold personality to each subject.
I am an artist, educator, and designer. I have several decades of experience with each. I have shared my work with the public sporadically throughout those decades. However, it was a reaction from a viewer in November 2022 that reignited my commitment to return my artwork to the public. While participating in an exhibit, a young lady paused in front of my artwork and began to cry. She apologized for crying and states "I can't help myself because your work is so beautiful!" I immediately embraced the young lady and thanked her for the utmost compliment. It was that moment that I made a renewed commitment to share my artwork with the world!
