VICKIE EDWARDS
Vickie has always enjoyed and pursued art at a young age, even receiving an art minor in college. She began her exploration of fiber arts in 2010 when she took a year-long art quilting class with Jean Mills in Issaquah, WA. Vickie retired from the corporate world in 2014 and has since devoted herself to her love of art full time.
Skilled in various mediums including watercolor, felting and batik, Vickie has recently discovered a new outlet, encaustic. Vickie is reveling in this new found passion; layering cold wax and oil paint which creates depth of color and abstract designs on her canvases.
Another passion for Vickie was the undertaking to open a place to facilitate art classes for artist and anyone else who wanted to explore different artistic outlets, thus Art Place, in Sandpoint, Idaho was born.
