Victoria Crowe
Victoria Crowe studied at Kingston School of Art from 1961-65, followed by a three year postgraduate place at the Royal College of Art, London. After 1968 she was invited to teach at Edinburgh College of Art. She remained there as a part-time lecturer in the School of Drawing and Painting until 1998, while continuing to develop her career as a painter.
Victoria has exhibited widely in group shows and since the 1970's held solo shows throughout Britain including regular exhibitions with Thackeray Gallery, London. In 2000, the Scottish National Portrait Gallery held an exhibition of her early work (1970's and 1980's) and this exhibition, 'A Shepherd's Life', was then shown at Flemings, London, in 2009.
Victoria has been the recipient of many awards and bursaries and has had important portrait commissions both public and private throughout Britain, Denmark and the USA, and was awarded an OBE for Services to Art in 2004. Her paintings have been the subject of two monographs, 'A Shepherd's Life', in 2000 and 'Painted Insights', in 2001.
Victoria Crowe exhibited with Thackeray Gallery from 1979-2007. Whilst we no longer represent her new work, we continue to handle her work from the past, with a particular focus on The Shepherd's Life period of the 1970's and 1980's. Her work is represented worldwide.
