Vikki Jones

I spent four years training at Leeds College of Art studying Fine Art. I then moved to Rome to work with archaeologists drawing their finds. Following this I became Head of Art in secondary school across Manchester and Leeds for an eighteen year period. 

In 1990 I moved to Pickering where I began running residential Art Courses, alongside working on my own personal projects.

 

I have exhibited my paintings in The Ferens, Lime Park, and various other galleries in Manchester.

My style is impressionistic leaning towards the abstract. I find there is always a struggle to bridge the abstract and figurative to gain tonal harmony. My inspiration often comes from the ever changing landscape in our area. I feel that everything is determined by our environment as we experience its moods and tones set by the weather and light.
