As our Artist in Residence, Edinburgh-based Vicky Paul presents ‘Where Energy Resets’, bringing together four collections — Celestial, Cosmos, Thin Places and Cherry Blossoms — each exploring a different rhythm of energy, connection and change.
From the expansive, high-frequency movement of Celestial and Cosmos, to the
quieter, more reflective tones of Thin Places, and lush, confectionary impasto Cherry
Blossoms, this is work that moves between worlds — light and shadow, chaos and
calm, the seen and the felt.
Vicky’s process is intuitive, led by instinct rather than structure. Through colour, texture and spontaneous mark-making, she creates pieces that feel alive — less about what you see, more about what shifts when you’re standing in front of them. Before stepping fully into painting, Vicky built a career in the arts as a PR and awardwinning radio presenter, interviewing cultural icons and shaping creative narratives. That instinct for storytelling still runs through her work — now expressed through colour, movement and form.
Her paintings are collected internationally and have been exhibited across the UK,
including Sotheby’s “Distillers One of One” auction in London. Now, they live here —
bringing a sense of energy, stillness and quiet transformation into the space.
