Meet and view the portrait paintings of Vicki Sullivan, an Australian contemporary realist painter and this week’s top Realism Today Ambassador.
Vicki Sullivan is an Australian contemporary realist painter who lives on the Mornington Peninsula surrounded by the Southern Ocean on one side and Port Phillip Bay on the other. Vicki has been recognized as an Art Renewal Centre Associate Living Master, and her work has been exhibited in many exhibitions both in Australia and internationally.
Vicki has been invited to exhibit her work in the “Artelibre 20×20” exhibition at the European Museum of Modern Art (MEAM) in Barcelona, Spain, in 2019 and was selected for the “Painting Now” exhibition at the MEAM in March 2019. Her work was also selected for the “Women Painting Women, Men Painting Men, Visions of Venus” show at RJD Gallery in Bridgehampton New York, and the “I Observe” exhibition at Rehs Contemporary Gallery in New York City.
Her work recently won an Art Renewal Center Publication Award in Collections Magazine, China, and the artist’s works were featured in PoetsArtists, Artsy, and Artnet, and “The New Nude,” curated by Walt Morton, “Anything but Painting the Figure,” curated by Lorena Kloosterboer, “Adorn Me,” curated by Carol Hodes, and “Figurative Realism,” curated by Dirk Dzimirsky.

Vicki’s work has won awards in Australia, the USA, and the UK.
Additional Oil Portrait Paintings:
“I have painted Frehza as the wild one because she has a sort of wild child energy, and her stunning beauty and effervescent attitude lights up a room. I really enjoyed going a little wild with the lighting and colour in this piece.”
“I painted Ashley surrounded by magnolias, and I wasn’t sure why — maybe because I love them? When Ash saw the painting, she couldn’t believe it, as she has a strong connection to them and even grew up on Magnolia Street. We both got goosebumps.”
