Vicki Blum Bio

Vicki Vidal Blum resides in Clifton, Virginia, where she focuses on still life in oils.  “I enjoy expressing the vibrancy of my subjects through color while maintaining the tradition of realism.  I call my style “saturated realism.”  Vicki paints from life, which is the only way to capture the rich colors of nature.  “My paintings exaggerate these ‘pure’ colors, which the eye often overlooks.  By saturating the colors, the subjects appear more alive.”

Vicki is represented by Chasen Galleries in Richmond, Virginia.  She also exhibits at the Art League Gallery in Alexandria.  She was featured in International Artist magazine in 2013 and élan magazine.  She was a finalist in the Susan K. Black “Blossom II” Competition, 2013 International Artist Still Life Challenge; 2013 Salon International Competition; and 2011 NYC Salmagundi Club’s Annual Non-member Show.  She has received numerous awards.
