Cheraw, SC
Vicky McLain has been an avid artist since she first picked up a crayon as a child in Texas. She has been a professional artist most of her life, and since January 2000, it has been in a full time capacity. She studied drawing at the San Antonio Art Institute and has taken over fifteen workshops with various instructors since moving to South Carolina in 2000. Vicky studied design while earning a BA in Management at Virginia Wesleyan College.
Her work reflects my love of the out-of-doors. She has found that a cotton field, and an abandoned car or barn has as much to say on canvas as a vase of flowers. She is now a proud South Carolinian and can really appreciate what South Carolina has given me to capture on canvas.

2017 1st Place Oil Painting - South Carolina State Fair
