Born in 1939 in Hampshire, Amanda Vesey was educated at the Salisbury School of Art and at the Chelsea College of Art. She lives and works in Salisbury.

With the diligence inherited from her career as a prominent writer and illustrator of children's books, Vesey observes ordinary moments of our quotidian landscape. The snapshot locations range from the parks of south London, glimpses caught touring France and Ireland to the random material of television. At first the work seems unassuming, then we understand the sympathetic familiarity and wry darkness of her pared-down vocabulary.
