Description
Somerville Manning Gallery is pleased to present “Metaphors” a solo exhibition of paintings by abstract artist Vicki Vinton from October 11 – November 2, 2024.
Vicki Vinton’s paintings manifest energetic surfaces, a skillful use of color, and an earthy curiosity. The unique quality of her work blends a knowledge of art history and the fine arts with a vast array of technical skills learned from the applied arts. The finished piece is always a record of process and discovery arising from measured deliberation, reaction, spontaneity, and chance.
Vinton began her undergraduate work at the University of Denver where she majored in art and philosophy. After graduating, she attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Her creative journey continued at Longwood Gardens where she studied ornamental horticulture and design. Then, after a seven-year career in landscape design and installation, Vinton began a process of re-inventing herself, enrolling in The Finishing School to study applied arts with Ina Brosseau Marx before entering a twenty-year career in the Faux Finishing Industry.
Vicki Vinton has returned to the studio and lives and works in rural Pennsylvania.
