This Month at Cascadia Art Museum:
Vicki Hone Smith
July 17th, 2025
A Northwest native most of her life, Vicki Hone Smith is a photographer and mixed media artist. She received her first Argus box camera at the age of nine after showing a great deal of interest in the cameras her father frequently carried around to capture the special moments of her early life in Southern California, circa 1955. That interest wained after a few years and resurfaced during college when she was able to upgrade to her first 35mm camera.
For the next three decades Vicki took photography classes when she could afford them and had time and energy outside her career in commercial printing and advertising. In the late eighties she was invited to be part of a two-person gallery exhibit in Pioneer Square with her macro floral photography. It was not until she retired and traveled to a remote island in Greece and later to Africa and Europe that she was able to devote more of her time to developing her skills as a photographer. She had a number of shows in Seattle selling and taking orders for many of her travel photographs, especially those of Italy.
Since moving to Edmonds from Seattle in 2009 Vicki has become more and more immersed in the arts of Edmonds and surrounding areas. In 2012 her photographs of Italy were to be featured during Art Walk at Rick Steves Travel Center. After reading of the devastating flood in Vernazza, Italy in Cinque Terre she decided to donate 50% of her sales at the Rick Steves art walk venue to SAVE VERNAZZA (you can read more about it here – https://honesmithphotography.pixels.com/myblog.html ). She participated in several other Art Walks and juried shows until 2017 when she took a sabbatical to be close to her mom with Alzheimers until her death in early 2018.
In 2022 Vicki joined Graphite Arts Center shortly after they opened. She says it was one of the smartest decisions she has made in her artistic life. Becoming part of Graphite has enabled her to expand her artistic expression while gaining confidence and valuable new friendships in a supportive community that is continually growing and offering many opportunities to the public through their non-profit Art Start Northwest. Since joining she has participated in and sold work at the Graphite bi-annual Art Sales, several Art Walks, juried shows in the Graphite Art Gallery, Edmonds Waterfront Center, Edmonds Arts Festival and Edmonds Art Studio Tour.
Enjoy free admission to the museum on Thursday, July 17th during Art Walk Edmonds from 5 – 8pm. Meet Vicki and watch her demonstrate her illusion series process.
