About the Tutor:

I am Vicki Peck, creator and owner of Vicki Peck Art.
I have an absolute passion for all things art, including creating my own paintings, helping others find their creative talents through my art classes and helping people heal and grow through art therapy.

A little about me:
I have created art for as long as I can remember and come from a family of many artistic people. I studied art - painting & ceramics (my other passion) and majored in ceramic design but continued to paint along the way.
I am originally from South Africa and left in 2000 to broaden my horizons overseas. After spending quite a while in the U.K, I moved to Australia in 2005, with my now husband.
In the search to do something more creative work after being in an office while overseas, I decided to become a florist(another passion)…I studied and became a qualified florist and spent a few years doing this.
Then kids came along and my creativity got paused… and now I’m back to being creative in any way possible!
Along with doing school holiday art classes, weekly senior art classes, commissions and doing my own painting, I am also now an art therapy practitioner and loving my time spent doing this each week.
For my paintings I predominantly use oils, but also absolutely love watercolours, and use this medium when I can give it the time it deserves.
My themes vary from landscapes, seascapes and still-lifes, and I love painting flowers! I paint from the heart and won’t paint something unless it feels right and makes me happy.

I love helping others find their path in art, and always encourage everyone to find their own unique style, to be confident in their abilities and embrace the process.
