Artist Bio

​ Vicki Hefty and her family moved to St. Louis in 1986.  Her passion for painting was ignited in 2010 when she enrolled in St. Louis Community College-Wildwood (STLCC-Wildwood) to study art and oil painting while also participating in workshops throughout the U.S. and Canada. Using her choice medium of oil on canvas, Vicki’s accolades range from “Best in Show” to honorable mentions in several juried STLCC-Wildwood shows, Plein Air events, as well as a Certificate of Appreciation by the STLCC Board of Directors. Her work has appeared in juried shows throughout the St. Louis area, corporate collections, and annually in local publications since 2012.  
As coordinator and exhibiter of the STLCC-Wildwood Fine Arts Club Gallery, Vicki recruits local artists, secures exhibition venues, prepares contracts and show tags, and supervises dozens of installations a year.
