The daily bombardment of stories about conflict and anger towards “otherness” fills me with grief and anguish. The cacophony of misinformation seems chaotic; everything is on the verge of collapse. I move myself away from this distress by creating images of refracted light. I deconstruct the color spectrum juxtaposing shapes and colors to create a collection of visual meditations that offer me a sense of calm and allows my equanimity to return.

Vicky Stromee was immersed in the transformative power of the arts from an early age. Her obsession with texture, pattern, fluidity, and change became defining life themes that continue to unfold in her work. Painterly influences inform Vicky's unique eye for composition and form, light and color. Her work invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and find a visual respite.
