Vicki Kovaleski Biography
Women helping women is what truly inspires Vicki Kovaleski. Having had and dealt with breast cancer and the aftermath of what treatment can do to you, Vicki founded a support group called Faithful Friends. She has continually used her art to trigger imagination and the message of the power of women.
Perseverance is no stranger to Kovaleski, coming from a family of 10 children. She was aware that there wasn't much money for college, but she wanted to get a degree.
"I always worked full time and went to school", said the mother of three sons. She was a respiratory therapist when she enrolled in an art class and got hooked.
Kovaleski's intrikgue with painting led to many more hours studying watercolor, design and illustration before securing a UALR degree in fine arts in 1990. "Being older you are more practical", said the painter. She taught watercolor and design classes out of her home, did commission work and designed logos. "To make a living at art, youy have to teach, produce work and commission work." she said.
Vicki was President of Mid-Southern Watercolorists for several years, and is now a Diamond Signature member of MSW.
