112 pages : 27 cm, Victoria Crowe is one of the United Kingdom's most distinguished painters. This new publication, timed to coincide with a major display of her work at the City Art Centre in Edinburgh during 2019, gives a fresh insight into her practice from a variety of perspectives. Born in Kingston-on-Thames, and educated at the Royal College of Art in London, Crowe was invited at the age of twenty three to join the teaching staff of Edinburgh College of Art by the Head of Drawing and Painting, Robin Philipson. There followed three decades of teaching at the College, during which time she exhibited widely and gained the esteem of her fellow artists and the recognition of private patrons and public galleries. Accolades followed. Her 2000 exhibition 'A Shepherd's Life' in Edinburgh met with huge critical acclaim and subsequently toured the United Kingdom. She was awarded the OBE in 2004 and made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2010.
