Edi meets one of Scotland’s leading artists who is exhibiting in Edinburgh, Victoria Crowe

Edi meets one of Scotland’s leading artists, Victoria Crow, whose work includes still life, landscape and portraiture. Her exhibit is on at National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh.

Edi Stark meets Victoria Crowe, one of Scotland’s leading artists whose stunningly beautiful work includes still life, landscape and portraiture. 
She talks about being invited to teach at Edinburgh College of Art, on the strength of her graduate show at the Royal College of Art in London. She’d never been to Scotland before but living and working in the hamlet of Kittleyknowe was to prove an inspiration. As well as painting the pastoral landscape she also painted her neighbour, Jenny Armstrong, a shepherdess. She tells Edi about her other subjects like Psychiatrist RD Laing, Prince Charles and the poet Kathleen Raine ..and her beloved son Ben, who died of oral cancer at the age of 22. His  portrait, Heroes and Villains is on the advertising poster for Victoria Crowe’s exhibition Beyond Likeness, currently at the National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh.
