Vicky Cunningham is a portrait and landscape artist. She attended Highland Park Community College where she received an Associates Degree in Art. Vicky continued her education at Wayne State University where she received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Art Education.
Vicky has always had a love for art. As a child she would spend much of her time drawing. After graduating from college and getting married, Vicky decided to put her art on hold. In 1992, she decided that it was time to get back into art. After only a short time in a painting class, she discovered that she had a talent for oil painting. In 1997, after entering a painting (Children of Many Cultures) in the Michigan State Fair, she received a first place ribbon. Her favorite subject to paint is portraits. The idea of taking a blank canvas and filling it with an image can be very spiritual when the image looks like the subject you are painting. Truly she has a gift from God. Painting portraits can be very challenging. Sometimes the harder the portrait, the greater the reward. Vicky feels that she cannot create a painting without the help from the Lord. After each work is done she never fails to thank God for His help.
Today Vicky takes her artistic talents and puts them into her graphic projects.
