The Island Art Gallery and Christmas Shop is featuring the work of artist Ron Vick during the month of July.

A resident of Tyrrell County , His formal education began at Atlantic Christian College (Barton) in Wilson and culminated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from East Carolina University.

After graduation, he settled in Columbia and began his career as an artist painting views of the Scuppernong River as well as portraits of local citizens. The Atlantic Flyway provided magnificent waterfowl inspirations for paintings. Captivated by hunting lore, he began to create vintage styled decoys that drew clients nationally including Ducks Unlimited. His work was featured on the cover of the Green Wings catalog. During the course of promoting the decoys, he became an adept photographer adding this medium to his repertory.
