VICKI CHELF, HOMAGE TO MR. J. L. oil on canvas 36 x 34 inches. SARASOTA, FLORIDA – Artist and author Vicki Chelf has opened an art studio at the Sarasota Trading Company, 522 South Pineapple Avenue, Sarasota, Florida.Chelf has a Fine Arts degree from the Ringling School of Art and Design and studied classical academic techniques at Southern Atelier, both in Sarasota. Painting in various media with styles ranging from more classical to the "whimsically demented," the versatile artist has exhibited her work in the United States, Canada, France and England.Chelf's art first manifested as stream of consciousness drawings that were painted in various sizes and techniques. Later, she channeled her passion for figurative painting and portraiture into works that drew upon her interests in current events, food and the environment, while embracing her metaphysical interests in dreams and stream of consciousness imagery. Evoking a relationship between the old masters and contemporary symbolism, Chelf's recent paintings combine both classical skill and personal expression. She also accepts commissions for portraits of people and pets.Vicki Chelf is also represented by ART AVENUE GALLERIES in Sarasota, FL ArtAvenueFlorida.com
