About Vicky

Life has a way of way of waking you up sometimes, and my time to wake up was three years ago. April of 2004, I had to immediately have open-heart surgery. As I began to heal I started to do some soul searching, and reconnecting. I had a lot of time to think about who I am, and what I truly wanted to be the rest of my life. I was very fortunate to realize that I needed to find the creative side of me.
So I started studying the art of metal jewelry.
In the past three years I have been juried and accepted into the Creative Metal Arts Guild in Portland, Oregon. the Spring Creative Metal Arts Guild Show ,the Southeast Portland Art Walk, the Sunnyside Art Stroll,the Belmont Street Fair and the Etsy Art Show .My work has also been accepted into two Art Gallery’s, one in Portland, and one in Seaside.

My Husband and I reside in Portland, Oregon, and we have been together for 28 years, and we have been very blessed with four children.
