Biography
Vicki Bosworth was born in Western Australia at Narrogin where her parents had a farm at Nomans Lake, 20 miles east of Narrogin. In 1955 her family moved to Albany and then in 1967 to Perth. In 1974 Vicki moved to Sydney and attended the Julian Ashton School of Art for a number of years where she met such artists as Francis Giacco, Richard Porter, Dale Dean, and David Wilson. She was not able to afford to stay at Ashton’s and after working as a proof reader for the Herald and Weekly Times she moved back to Perth in 1980 and worked for the West Australian newspaper until computerisation made proof readers largely redundant. Since fees at University had been abolished under the Whitlam government, Vicki took advantage of this and studied for a Masters Degree in Communications and Cultural Studies at Curtin University, graduating in 1989. For the next decade she was employed in numerous positions in TAFE and the Education Department. She was also involved with feminist politics and was a member of the WA Women’s Electoral Lobby as a media person and coordinator, and regularly contributed graphics and cartoons for the WEL Broadsheet, The Green Left Weekly and Hysterical Women: A collection of 100 Australian feminist cartoons. Vicki returned to Julian Ashton’s in 2006 where she won a part-time scholarship in 2008 and was awarded a Diploma in 2009. In 2008 she won first prize in the Robert Menzies inaugural art prize for her painting The little scholar and was in the finalists’ exhibition at the Artarmon Galleries. Vicki has regularly exhibited with the JASA Students and Teachers Exhibitions. She has also been a finalist in such competitions as the Mortimer, Mosman, Waverley, Hornsby, and National Trust Still Life Competition at Berrima in 2012. In 2013 she was part of the group exhibition, 'Shades of Reality 1’. Writers: Vicki Bosworth duggim Date written: 2014 Last updated: 2014
