In 2015, over 40 of Vicki's encaustic paintings were selected to hang in the new University Medical Center of New Orleans (below). In 2018, her work was accepted into the Encaustic Art Institute of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Vicki's paintings hang in many commercial buildings as well as private homes from New Orleans, LA to Panama City, FL.
Vicki Lee lives and paints in New Orleans, Louisiana. After retiring from a career in accounting, she studied art and painting at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts.
Her current work includes intricate collages created from monoprints pulled from a Gelli plate. Many of the collages are completed with resin on wooden boards and affixed together to create larger panels.
In earlier work, Vicki discovered the medium of beeswax and proceeded to learn the intricacies of working as an encaustic artist. Encaustic means "to burn with heat" and most of this work includes beeswax or wax crayons that are manipulated by heat from a blow torch, heat gun, or hot plate.
Her work is primarily abstract with color influences from seascapes and landscapes she appreciates.
In addition to painting, she enjoys teaching Gelli plate printing applications in her studio in New Orleans and at other art studios and venues throughout the country.
