Vickisa, 3 pages from Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival 2023, water media
Artwork all about music: paintings, painted drawings, & limited-edition accordion-style artist books
Exhibition Dates:
* March 23 – April 28, 2024
Vickisa, a longstanding Gallery Route One artist member, includes paintings, painted drawings, and limited-edition accordion-style artist books, created using mixed water media including acrylics and watercolor pencil, and collage in her upcoming exhibition at Gallery Route One called, Vickisa’s Love Supreme.
The artist has chronicled countless music festivals, starting her works in front of a live audience including the New Orleans French Quarter Festival and her favorite, San Francisco’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, as well as the music stage of the Mill Valley Art Festival, which are depicted in her artist-crafted, fold-out accordion books.
Vickisa has created more than 60 of these books, largely focused on the music events she has attended, some of which will be presented in this show.
She explains, “My passion is creating accordion books from these festivals. My love supreme is Music and of course Art. At the recent Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival, I found myself right in front of the stage sketching the exciting activities swirling around me, and taking some photographs too, which I often include on the back pages of the books. The process of sketching, collaging, and creating a handwritten story is something I never tire of.”
This exhibition is all about music.
After attending Bard College and the University of Arizona, she received her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. Vickisa also teaches and hosts a radio show, Coastal Airwaves, on KWMR.
