"To be lucky enough to live on the water is lucky enough."
Vicki Damon and her husband cruise the waters of the Caribbean on their trawler, Nomad. The many people, places and numerous landscapes that she visits give to her the impressions one needs to build the imagination.
"My hope is to share, through my art, the beauty of the world. I wish to see my work hanging where others can appreciate the colors and vividness of the many streams that make up our lives and bring people together."
While Vicki is both cruising the Caribbean or docked back at home in Melbourne, Florida, she is creating her unique wearable art designs as well as painting her frameable silk art pieces, some of which you can see on this webstie. Her silks and watercolors have shown locally as well as in other parts of North America, the Bahamas and Central America. She is part of the permanent collection at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Vicki has also painted numerous commissions for clients in Europe, Canada, the Bahamas and N. and C. America.
