Vickie Martin

Atlanta artist, and avid reader, Vickie Martin graduated from the University of Georgia in Athens, and is a fan of Athens music, beginning with the B-52’s.

"I’ve described myself as a symphony going recovering punk rocker (I named my dog Ziggy in honor of David Bowie). In fact, I saw David Bowie every time he came to Atlanta after 1973!"

Having grown up in a musical family--  her grandfather owned a music store, tuned pianos and her aunts recorded gospel music, music has always been the connection to her creativity. She discovered art after reading Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, and has been a prolific collage artist/painter ever since, each piece inspired by a song.

Artist Statement

" .... all of my art is inspired by a particular song that I also learn to play on the piano. ."
