The Sky Where I Am

March 23, 2017December 15, 2019 Vicki

I have always taken photos of the sky. It is different every time I look at it, it makes me feel more connected to the people I love when we are apart, and it puts on extraordinary shows every day.

Four years ago today, I started my project The Sky Where I Am, collecting and sharing these images. I remember each moment so vividly that I become transported back through space and time to precisely what I was thinking about and feeling on that day. I hope these images bring others joy, beauty, or a moment to pause for contemplation. Above all, I hope they encourage you to look up, to truly see, and to cherish the natural world around you wherever you are.

Charitable Giving

January 31, 2017June 13, 2017 Vicki

Following the extraordinary success of the Nasty Women exhibition, which raised over $42,000 for Planned Parenthood (with $35,000 raised in a single night!) I am so pleased to finally launch the Charitable Giving initiative that I envisioned when I first started my business.

I will donate a portion of the sale price of select pieces to relevant charitable organizations that reflect the core values of my studio. You can read a bit more about the project here.

I am beginning with prints of the 2015 painting, It Felt Like Home, which has particular significance for me as it came out of humanitarian concerns and a need to see more compassion in the world. 25% of the sale price of these prints will be donated to the International Rescue Committee, which provides much-needed humanitarian aid in crises and helps displaced refugees resettle, and to the ACLU Foundation, which fights to protect civil liberties for all Americans.

I have also added prints of the painting I created for Nasty Women, Lithe, with 25% of the sale price donated to Planned Parenthood.

It is my sincerest hope that, though relatively small, these donations will use art to make a difference in the world. I will continue to add more pieces to this project, which you can find through the Charitable Giving tag in the Shop.
