Vicki has drawn inspiration for her unique interpretations of architecture for over twenty years. A subject to which everyone can relate. Many individually designed pieces are based on real buildings, some imaginary. Since setting up her work studio in 1977 she has exhibited nationally and internationally, as well as carrying out many varied commissions for businesses and private clients.
