Vickie Liu is a Sydney-based artist who loves to create vibrant and detailed artworks inspired by the beauty of nature, in particular, Australian natives and florals. She originally trained as an architect and has since rediscovered her passion as an artist. You’ll usually find her at the flower markets looking for inspiration for her still life paintings, working on wildlife-inspired illustrations, outdoors painting landscapes or painting private commissions.
Her work is an expression of her love for nature, a reflection of everyday encounters and the change in seasons. She is always looking to capture these moments of beauty and share them through her detailed and colourful works.
Vickie predominately works with acrylic on stretched canvas, but also creates works on paper using gouache or watercolour.
