Ms. Visconti-Tilley is a strong advocate for art education and is considered an artist educator.

With teenagers, she is the key artist and facilitator for the permanent installation of A Tapestry of Dragons & Unicorns at the Lied Childrens Discovery Museum in Las Vegas. She also works with Art Quotients, an international annual publication for student artists. Before relocating to Nevada, she taught over 3,000 students in New Mexico schools.

Influenced by her European ancestry, Vicki has always known she was meant to be an artist and what her subjects would be. Her work reflects the romance and adventure of an ancient culture that she brings alive in her delicate and intricately detailed art. Her Enchanted Old Worlds convey our past, when Man, Woman, Beast and Earth were more intertwined
