Welcome to Victoria Chick's Website

This website will give you a glimpse of how I work, where I work, and what I try to communicate as a contemporary figurative artist.

I start with drawing from life. It gives me the ability to focus on movement within a figure rather than on detail. The gesture of any figure, animal or human, expresses emotion through its action.  In all my artwork, my goal is for viewers to empathize with the gesture and the emotion expressed through it. 

You will see that I work by painting in “series”. An idea will come to me and I will explore many aspects of it by using similar images.

 I often work in various mediums. Acrylic paint on canvas is my preferred painting media. Original, hand-pulled prints such as one – of- a - kind monotypes and monoprints are exciting to do and have many painterly qualities. I also do drypoint, an intaglio technique with the linear qualities of drawing. Drypoint editions are limited to 20 prints or less. The prints are usually extensions of the images and ideas I am working on in a painting series.

I like exhibiting a large body of work in a gallery because the concept that brought me to do a series can have its development fully shown.

Thank you for visiting my site. If you are interested in seeing work in person, contact one of my dealers. If you have specific questions, feel free to email me.
