Artist Victoria ChickShows & Exhibitions

Victoria Chick’s New Mexico art studio is located on a juniper covered hillside overlooking the Rio de Arenas basin and the mountains of the Gila National Forest.  Mule deer and elk are frequent visitors and hummingbirds enjoy abundant summer wildflowers.

Although the studio location was chosen to allow uninterrupted work, Chick welcomes visitors with an annual Open Studio. To request being notified of the 2009 Open Studio date, click here to email.

Victoria Chick's  new exhibition entitled CODA at the JW Art Gallery in Hurley, NM opens October 10 with a reception October 10 from 3 p.m. until 6 p.m. during the Mimbres Region Arts Council sponsored Weekend At The Galleries annual event. The show continues through November 8.

Coda is a musical term describing passage at the end of a piece that is a reflection of the main body of work. It is a necessary device that allows the listener to “look back”, “take it all in” and create a sense of balance.  So it is with life, that as we get older, reflection of what has gone before is a necessary process.

Early in my work life, I was a registered art therapist and I saw that much of that reflection takes place as a non-verbal, solitary activity or even while sleeping. 

The subjects in this show were drawn from life. They are specific individuals but could be any of us.  The cats and plant forms are metaphors. The boundary line separates two planes of existence- the conscious and the subconscious – both of which are necessary to develop the coda of our lives.
