"Vicki McGrath es una artista autodidacta especializada en acrílicos y gouache. Después de explorar el arte cuando era niña, volvió a conectar con su chispa creativa mientras estaba embarazada de su hija, pintando un mural para el cuarto infantil. Vicki inicialmente se centró en el arte infantil y luego se aventuró en la decoración del hogar hasta que descubrió el gouache en un taller local. Usando colores vivos y pinceladas sueltas, encontró placer en capturar la esencia y la belleza del mundo que la rodeaba en expresivas obras de arte.
Su estilo audaz le valió un sólido seguimiento en las redes sociales, lo que la llevó a colaboraciones con Trader Joe's, Serena and Lily, Winsor & Newton y Michaels. Su trabajo también ha aparecido en revistas como Cottages & Bungalows y ha recibido encargos de clientes de todo el mundo.
