Vickie McCrary paints in the truest sense of the Expressionism genre in that she uses her life experiences to translate and transcend emotions into art.
The result is an intimacy in all of her works that resonate with the viewer. This exposure of sensitivity has served to "shape what exists in my brush," she says. "When I paint, I feel as though I am sculpting the canvas with the experiences and feelings that are within me." This emphasis, to focus as much on the paint as the subject, borders on the Gestural Abstract style. Her use of bold color and texture has become one of her strongest attributes in excelling in this particular style. Vickie A McCrary has attained 4 college degrees, numerous local, county, state and national awards, and is responsible for helping over 100 artists through the creation of the North Gwinnett Arts Association and Suwanee Arts Center, located in Suwanee, GA. |
