Born in Maryland, Vickie grew up with a love for music, nature and photography. She earned a BA in Psychology at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. Vickie moved to Georgia and then to North Carolina to work as an Environmental Educator Naturalist. Leading youth on hikes gave Vickie the unique photographer’s eye she uses to find intricate beauty in the natural world. In 2001 she moved to Asheville to pursue music and studied photography at Blue Ridge Community College. Vickie Burick Photography launched in 2017, as did her band Many a Ship, weaving together a career based in her passions. Her photographic work has been displayed at The Grey Eagle, Plant, West End Bakery, Big Crafty, and Frame it to a T in Asheville, and at Zuma in Marshall NC.
