About the artist

From as far back as I can as I can remember I have always wanted to be an artist and throughout my life I have lived and worked as one. Submitting my portfolio, I was accepted by Leeds University and after four years of experimental studio work coupled with intensive theoretical study received a BA (Hons) degree in Fine Art. During the 80’s I did figurative work, concentrating on producing positive images of women of all ages and race and their role in society. During this period I moved to the Isle of Mull in Scotland and also spent time in France, Spain and Ireland to study, paint and teach. In 1990 I travelled to Africa.

In the early 90’s I again journeyed to Europe to paint and teach, being lucky enough during these years to fit in a trip to Indonesia for further study. These periods of study over many years have enabled me to learn different ways of painting and drawing which has freed me from becoming bound to any one particular way of seeing and depicting the subject so that, hopefully, it is always new and different to the viewer.

The mid-90s saw a move to the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, a starkly beautiful island where the sea and the wind are a major part of life born by the quiet strength and forthrightness of the islanders. During these times aboard ( for my paints and pad are always with me ) I began signing my pictures ‘Vega’ out of respect for the boat that carried me safely for hundreds of miles on my journeys.
