Artist Statement

“By painting tonight, tomorrow I awaken to see my dreams, but not so often here, which is truly the best without censoring.

How can I let the subconscious speak? Automatic and abstract meet quite easily with a sleight of hand, like a master hypnotist, bringing forth my unconscious mind set free.

My process blends spontaneity with intention—often using cut-up canvases, glue guns, and bold color choices to transform memories into visual experiences.

Someone once told me they wanted to live their life in my colors. I replied: I lived that life—and now I paint it.”

Mills Gallery & Kristy Lee presents,

Vickie Wilson, “My Last Show: A CELEBRATION OF MY LIFE’S WORK”

Last chance to witness the famous abstract-graffiti style work of local artist, Vickie Wilson!

Wilson has decided to retire and she wants the community that loves her so much to have an opportunity to acquire her art at extremely affordable prices.

“Now those memories can be transformed by searching for a personal language in art. I am grateful to many friends, artists, and teachers who inspired and challenged my life in all manners, both difficult and uplifting, with a kick in the ass and a kiss.” - Vickie

An Opportunity to Help

The money collected from this event will be used to make her life easier and to allow her to have closure with that part of her life.

Family and dear friends are involved in this project, and it would be an event that will allow the art community to honor one of its own. Our artist in residence, Kristy Lee, has decided to create and curate this event.
