“I grew up in upstate New York and have been exploring the natural world through a camera lense since I was a young girl. With an academic background in marine biology and wildlife conservation, I have settled in California and now live on the Central Coast. My work is a way for me to honor the amazing world I see in nature—to call attention to its powers, reflect on its wonders, and in a way that’s playful and approachable, create empathy, explore connections. It’s a tangible expression of my gratitude for being able to see what I see and feel what I feel, and being forever curious about it all.”

Vicki has won competitions with Black and White Magazine and Shadow and Light Magazine; and exhibited at the New York Center for Photographic Art, Center for Photographic Art in Carmel, Monterey Museum of Art and the Center for Creative Photography in Phoenix. She has worked at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and is a founding board director of the Carmel River Watershed Conservancy.
