About Vicky
Hi, I’m Vicky. I am a professional artist and also run a small business making personalised framed pieces.
I have a foundation course from Leeds Art University and a first class (honours) degree in Constructed Textiles from DOJCA, Dundee which I followed with a two year MFA in Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art. I have exhibited extensively in the UK, Europe and Australia and have work in private and public collections in the UK and Europe. I have been awarded residencies in Ireland and Austria and various grants for research and development.
I have taught Foundation Course in Leeds (also running the design side of the course for maternity cover) and Textiles, fashion and Fine Art BA and MA courses in Dundee, Aberdeen and Belfast. I’ve even taught for a short time in Botswana.
I believe in working with students and young people to draw out their individuality, focussing on their own interests and their strengths. I like to build a friendly and open relationship with students so that they feel that they can talk openly about their work and any concerns they have about it. I aim to build confidence in their practical work and the ideas behind it.
I go above and beyond to help my students, often spending my own time researching their particular interests in materials, processes or ideas. I encourage all of my students to look at the world of art and design to contextualise their work and ideas.
If you are interested in working with me please get in touch and we’ll have an initial chat to see what we can do together.

Why choose me as your tutor:
• I am friendly and open and believe in student led teaching – we will work together to identify and develop your strengths and place them within a wider art and design context. We will talk about artists and designers that inspire you as well as practical lessons.
• I love to write projects and can develop a personalised project to help you progress your work and ideas. I believe in teaching the processes of research and development, drawing and gathering ideas which can be questioned and developed in order to drive a project forward and place it within a contemporary context.
• A passion for materials and making as well as drawing in its widest form using all kinds of exciting materials and techniques.
• I have a lot of experience teaching foundation course and work with school students to break down the prescriptive ideas of the school curriculum and bring personality to their work through identifying their strengths and interests.
• Help to write personal statements for college applications, identifying the individual course requirements and selling your strengths and personality, help to build confidence in interviews.

Meeting at art college many years ago, Vicky has been a constant and loyal friend throughout lives ups and downs. She has been a constant supporter and guide during my own artistic career. Her creative knowledge, her curating skills and her ability to understand my rambling, mixed up ideas and channel them into a more logical and understandable brief has been a huge benefit I draw upon regularly to help me run my business. I use her experience in writing briefs to help me to write exhibition proposals and calls to exhibitors for my independent gallery.
Vicky helped me to develop a much more exciting and personal project for my advanced higher art which I then developed into a digital portfolio for application to Glasgow school of Art. We also spent a lot of time looking at contemporary artists to help me to work out what course I wanted to do now that GSA no longer does a foundation year. Vicky was very approachable and patient and helped me to build confidence for my interview - she’s a great tutor
Vicky was my lead tutor at Art College and encouraged and challenged me throughout the course. Her artistic knowledge and ability to inspire through her own practice was valuable and insightful. Always on hand with a new direction, artist or a comment to make you reevaluate your own ideas and artwork, her input was always valued.
