Who is Vicki Conley?

Vicki Conley lives in the mountains of southern New Mexico and owns a gallery in Ruidoso Downs where she sells her work. She has been a creative person all her life and has recently retired from 42 years as a studio potter. She has been a fiber artist for about 20 years and is now also exploring surface pattern design and online teaching. 

Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and she is the founder of 4 Common Corners, a group of fiber artists all living in the Four Corners states in the southwestern United States.

Her work is influenced by the natural world, especially public lands - national and state parks. She and her husband now travel extensively in their RV with their three dogs, always looking for the next inspiration. Her series of national park poster style quilts are designed in the style of historic national park posters but using her own photographs as inspiration. Sometimes she also interprets the feeling of a national park by abstract.
