Vicky Palmer is an award-winning artist known for her contemporary photographic style of animal portraiture.

 

She is based in Wiltshire, where the surrounding countryside inspires her and its inhabitants. Vicky’s style of plain unfussy backgrounds allows the viewer to place their take on the animals she paints, removing them from their traditional environments, as often is depicted. This compliments the highly detailed focus of all manner of animals, including the beautiful fox-hound packs which are based in the surrounding counties. As with portraits of people, she tries to capture the unique character of each animal in her work. 

 

Vicky has been drawing or painting for most of her life and trained at Bristol and Salisbury before pursuing a career as a graphic designer. The arrival of two small girls and their move to an idyllic hamlet in Wiltshire inspired her to start painting full-time. Winner of the prestigious Trilogy Award from the Society of Women Artists in 2016, she has exhibited at the Country Life Fair where her subject matter has proved extremely popular; her work is shown extensively around London and the South of England, and she is a regular exhibitor at the Animal Art Fair. Vicky has exhibited with great success in the south of England and
her list of collectors includes Lady Judith McAlpine, Alan Titchmarsh and Mary Berry.
