THE ARTIST
About Vicki
Vicki Davidson is an artist with a passion for bright, dynamic and inspirational art. Always keen to experiment, Vicki works in oil, pastel, acrylic, watercolour, charcoal…and anything she can get her hands on to make a mark really! Subjects include sketches, portraits, animals (especially hares!) and, more recently, landscapes.
Although Vicki studied art and design at ‘A’ Level, a busy career in nursing has left little time for her passion. Vicki’s nursing career has taken her around the world, including London, Australia, an African expedition and even some time in a Field Hospital during her time as a reservist with the Queen Alexandra’s Royal Army Nursing Corps. Now her two children are growing up, and needing her less, Vicki has decided to pursue her passion for art.
In 2017 Vicki started sharing her work on social media and in a few select local galleries. The artwork has rapidly generated a keen interest, resulting in commissions and requests for prints of the work. Vicki still works as a nurse for the NHS, currently at County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust. Vicki, originally from Dartmoor in Devon, lives on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales with her husband and two children.

I think I’m just about there with Foxy now.
🦊
There’s a few little bits I may tweak; I need to see him fresh after a wee break to make sure I’m completely happy.
Then I will capture the image with @niddimaging just in case anyone fancies prints.
The original will be off to @yorkshireframingservice to be beautifully framed 😊
I’ve had lots of requests for a fox painting, so do let me know what you think.

This will be my cosy fireside read this evening 🔥, quite possibly with a cheeky little cherry brandy on the side 🥃 🍒 😋
Thanks @living_north for another lovely magazine and for featuring my artworks again ☺️
I’m in love with the amazing photography by @yorkshire_photography_hides who are featured in this month’s magazine.
The red squirrel photo is 👌!
I’ve read with interest about the hides, and as a decent camera is on my wish list this year, that’s a follow from me! 📸

Examples of my work- all rendered with @unisoncolour soft pastels.
Soft pastels were definitely my first love, and I appreciate their endless possibilities, from smoky, soft blending to sharp details. I also find their vibrancy of colour to be exceptional 🌈

I often spend time drawing, either in my sketchbook or, like here, on a larger scale.
I work quite quickly (although this is speeded up of course 😂 so not THAT quick!) and here I’m using compressed willow charcoal and white pastel.
I’m not sure the result was spectacular, but it’s just part of my regular practice.

Sorry I can’t recall the exact reference so tagging my two favourite hare photographers who generously support artists- but do remember they appreciate a mention if you use their work 🥰

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take commissions
Unfortunately I am unable to take new commissions just at the moment, this is because my waiting list is full.
Don’t worry though, commissions will be available again, so please keep an eye on the website and my social media accounts for updates in regard to this.
Do you ship overseas?
Yes! Shipping costs are applied in the shop. If you are outside the UK and your order includes a framed original, then please get in touch via hello@vickidavidson.com to arrange shipping of this item.
Is your work available in galleries?
Yes. I have work in the following local galleries if you would like to visit and view paintings in person.

Do you supply prints in frames?
Prints are supplied with a hard backing board and laser-cut mount in a neutral colour (usually cream or white). It is then acetate wrapped for protection.
I can arrange bespoke framing if required. This can take up to four weeks, will be priced individually depending on choice and will incur a higher shipping cost.
Again, for original works, if not already in a frame, then I can assist with this.
Please contact me via hello@vickidavidson.com to discuss your framing requirements
What if I don't like my picture?
I hope you will be delighted with your new artwork. However, in the unlikely event you are not entirely satisfied then please contact me via hello@vickidavidson.com
I am happy to provide a full refund provided the artwork is returned in perfect condition. Return shipping costs to be paid by the customer.
Can I order prints in different sizes?
Yes! Please contact Vicki via hello@vickidavidson.com to discuss bespoke print sizes.
What is Giclée printing?
Giclée is a French word (pronounced Zhee-Clay) which literally means “fine spray”. Giclée fine art prints are produced digitally on high quality inkjet printers, which have the capability to reproduce a much wider range of colours than conventional processes, due to the specially formulated inks and media used. The Giclée process is really the only current solution available to artists who wish to obtain a close match to their original work and have the peace of mind that the prints will remain vibrant and fade resistant for decades to come.
All of the printing at Vicki Davidson is carried out by Nidd Imaging. Their quality of prints is exceptional!
Each print is approved by Vicki to ensure the colour match is as exact as possible to the original.
You can see more about Nidd Imaging and their printing process via; http://www.niddimaging.co.uk/
