OUR JUROR
Vicki Siegel is a contemporary artist whose works combine painting and photography. She creates images that merge her fascination with the world around her and an obsession with the physicality of paint. Each painting responds to the environment, nature and the human form creating a visual dialogue between man and nature and reality and imagination. Vicki Siegel grew up in both NYC and Chicago. She holds a BFA from the University of Illinois, Urbana, continued with Master of Fine Art course work, at Tyler School of Art, Rome, Italy focusing on photography. Vicki worked as an art director and creative director in advertising in Milan, Chicago, and S. Florida. Siegel is a full time working artist with a studio is in Delray Beach, Florida. When not in her studio, she instructs painting, conducts painting workshops, speaks to art groups and juries shows. Her work is widely exhibited and collected. ​
