I'M VICKIE THURSTON
I began my journey as an artist at age 14 after being inspired by a middle school art teacher. I have been involved with art in some way ever since.
After raising four kids, I began taking classes again in drawing, painting and photography. Currently, and for the last 20+ years, I have been a student or realist artist, David Zuccarini, to whom I credit learning the best of my art skills.
My paintings are inspired by all things beautiful, especially when the light on the subject brings a certain magic glow. I also enjoy painting expressions of my personal experiences in imaginative, creative ways.
My paintings have been displayed at museums and juried shows around Maryland plus commissioned works as far away as Europe.
I have also done work as a fine art photographer. I have had photographs published in several magazines, including Popular Photograph as a participant in their mentor series workshops.

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
