Vicki Banks

After twenty years in the animation business, sculptor Vicki Banks really knows how to bring a character to life in subtle ways. She captures a fleeting moment in her subjects’ lives, whether it is an introspective moment as a skater ties a bootlace or the private thoughts of a giraffe as it perambulates the savanna.

Spring

To Vicki, bronze is the perfect medium. She loves its permanency, its range of colors and textures. Even in an edition of several bronzes, each piece is lovingly and individually worked on until it is just right, then matched to its own individual base, making each piece completely unique.

Originally trained as a sculptor, Vicki spent many years in animated films working with companies such as Disney, DreamWorks, Warner Bros. and Jay Ward. More recently she returned to her first love, sculpture, and now exhibits in art shows and galleries throughout California, Arizona, and Idaho.

Vicki lives with her two daughters, two parrots, and a gigantic cat in Los Angeles.
