Vicky Baker Grant
"Quote from Vicky here"
With over three decades of professional sculpting, Vicky Baker Grant is an accomplished fine-art portraitist. Her career represents a unique synthesis of artistic perfection and the gentle, airy, deeply human space of her personal studio.
Background
Vicky trained at the prestigious Wimbledon School of Art, where she immersed herself in classical anatomy, traditional plaster mould-making, and structural clay building. This elite training laid the foundation for technical excellence.
25 Years at Madame Tussauds
Following her studies, Vicky spent 25 years as a senior sculptor at Madame Tussauds in London and globally. Working at the pinnacle of hyper-realistic portraiture, she sculpted figures of world leaders, historical champions, and cultural icons. Her work required a masterful grasp of likeness, micro-texture, and light absorption on simulated skin. This quarter-century of rigorous precision refined her ability to capture not just a mechanical likeness, but the living presence of her subjects.
Under the Magnolia Tree
Today, Vicky operates from her private, light-flooded garden studio in Kingston, named after the magnolia tree that frames its entrance. The studio is the definition of a warm, feminine, and relaxed atmosphere.
Whether working on bespoke portrait commissions, capturing the micro-detail of an infant’s hand in a luxury lifecasting experience, or mentoring a small class around the clay table, Vicky invites her patrons into an artistic collaboration characterized by warmth, elegance, and peace.
