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! "
