A Review of the Artist's Work:
"This artist brings a very special sensibility to watercolor. She is well acquainted with the medium and knows instinctively how to coax the happy accident into a full flowering.
Like the papermaker, she nurtures the unexpected, riding out the process, always with an eye for preserving that quirky little random event.
There is always a persuasive mix of these events in Ms. McVicker's work - gestural brushwork, bleeding, flowing, mopping, blotting - all executed with cunning, exactitude and grace. She makes it look effortless.
In a piece entitled Hopscotch, it appears that pomegranates have arrived for a reunion with luxuriant blues and lavenders. In a second painting entitled My Cup Runneth Over, the title -with missing serifs and loops - has been integrated into the composition. A row of shimmering fruit is suspended overhead."
