About the Artist


 

Vicki Downey Cheek was raised on a farm in rural Missouri and has been riding since a young age. Her best friend during those years was her palomino foxtrotter gelding, Sneaky Pete.

Vicki has been drawing since she was four. In her early years she experimented with different subject matters but it is in her western and equine art that she found her place. "I have found my destiny...a purpose...in my work here."

Vicki's work has hung in galleries and is in numerous private collections across the United States and overseas. She has completed many commissions as well as participating in art shows and horse events.

"My art is my essence. It is who I am. I know no other way to live. God has truly blessed me with this wonderful gift! Not only am I able to give something back to this world through my art, I have met some amazing people because of it! "
