Meet Your Mixed Media Teacher

Vikki Reed - Mixed Media Artist

Hi I’m Vikki

Discovering the medium of acrylics in 2016 led to a love of creating contemporary mixed media pieces featuring collage. Experimenting with different kinds of collage eventually led me to the gelli plate and a new love affair began.

Now I am happily engaged in creating mixed media artwork with LOTS of gelli print collage. I am particularly drawn to painting birds, horses, dragonflies, empowered women, and landscapes. I LOVE color and consider color frequency a form of medicine, just as sound frequency can be.

What People Are Saying

I love how thoughtful this work is, and how you were guided in the decisions you made, such as adding “Love” and the hummingbird. Really exquisite work, and I learned a lot!

Vikki – I really enjoyed your workshop and watching your piece change and it gave you surprises along the way!

How long will it take to complete this course?

That’s totally up to you. Whilst it is possible to binge watch the modules in around 1 1/4 hours, the painting process will take longer to implement as you need to allow for drying time, which will vary depending on the materials used and your temperature / humidity levels.
