Vanessa is a former Senior Lecturer at Manchester School of Art and Liverpool John Moores University.
Her moving image projects and installations have been screened at festivals globally including the UK, Belgium, Israel, India, Japan, Poland, USA, Portugal, China, Bulgaria and France. “I work across a broad range of media including painting, print, film, photography and sound. I won the Darwin Scholarship whilst studying for a Masters at the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London, graduating with a Distinction. I was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA) in 2016.”
“In March 2020, the spaces between objects became more pronounced as a reflection on the Covid lockdown. Using the limited objects I had in my studio and from memory I continued the series. I noticed the spaces between people in the local park and it was reflected in the spatial compositions in my work.”

The Own Art Scheme is an interest-free loan scheme set up by the Arts Council that is designed to make it affordable for everyone to buy original, high quality contemporary art and craft by letting you spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months.
You can choose any work with a retail price between £250 and £25,000 from our great selection of prints, paintings, ceramics, sculpture, glass and wood. It is not possible to buy gift vouchers with the Own Art Scheme.
You can borrow from as little as £250 up to a maximum of £25,000 . We then spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months with an interest free loan. For instance, if you buy a painting from us that costs £300 through the own art scheme, you would pay £30 in 10 monthly installments.
