Vicki Wilson Hunt
A Jack of many trades but Master of none, I love all types of photographic process. I taught hand coloring black and white photos in Atlanta after studying under Ron Bowen at the University of Alabama, Birmingham in the early 1990s. Portraiture was my specialty, but I later became an avid street photographer, a lover of rural southern scenes, and fine art photos in general, which were used for many hotel installations, exhibitions and competitions. I loved exploring polaroid transfers and emulsion lifts, and worked many years with slide film. A gift card business with 10 retailers kept me busy as well.
In 2012, I moved back to an old inherited family farm in rural Alabama to document the area close by known as the Black Belt. Being diagnosed with macular degeneration a few years later, I often had trouble being in the outdoor light, but rather than give up, I began taking online classes to improve my digital skills.
As a result, I love to make collages, both digital and analog, and use my photography to assemble each piece. I love journaling and enjoy working with my photos to create lovely papers. Making handmade books helps me gather my thoughts to produce a body of work. Cyanotypes, artist trade cards, handmade cards, mixed media and precious metal backed vellum prints have all been part of my exploration.
