About the Artist

Vicky Lennon

The Boating Artist

Vibrant colors and rich textures explode on the surface of Vicky’s non-objective work. Her paintings are always a process. She works intuitively as the image evolves.  Varied layers of glazing give lushness and depth, while the addition of mediums helps to create the textures that emerge in the final image. Vicky works pushing and pulling shapes, surfaces, and colors, until she is excited with the uniqueness of each piece. 

Her works can be found in the collections of Florida State College at Jacksonville, Edward White Hospital, St. Petersburg Fl., Lake City Community College, Fl., Duval Eye Associates, and North American Mortgage and many private collections throughout the United States. One person shows for this award-winning artist include Jewish Community Alliance, Jacksonville Golf and Country Club, Lake City Community College, Limelight Theatre, The Alhambra Theatre, The Berdy Dental Group, Florida State College of Jacksonville, North Campus, and the Florida State College of Jacksonville, Baymeadows Campus.  Her works were also stage props for the play Social Security starring Barbara Eden (I Dream of Jeannie) at the Alhambra Dinner Theatre.

Vicky received a B.F.A. from the University of North Florida, was appointed to the Jacksonville Art in Public Places Commission, and served as President of Jacksonville Coalition for the Visual Arts. Publications featuring her art work are Women’s Digest, North Jacksonville Monthly, Waters Edge Magazine, St. John’s County Chronicle, Compass Newspaper, The Pen Woman Magazine, and the Palatka Daily News.

She has judged shows, lectured, led workshops and curated exhibits throughout Florida.  Vicky has lead fundraisers for the National Federation of the Blind.  Vicky is a signature member of the National Association of Women Artists, and worked on symposium committees for both the Florida Artists’ Group and the International Society of Experimental Artists.  She is part of the special projects committee for the Society of Layerists in Multimedia (SLMM).
