Vine's paintings are exuberant, funny and irreverent. She is notorious for her portraits of Kate Moss and disturbing images of Princess Diana and the heroin victim Rachel Whitear, but she also paints her mother and her son from photographs and memory.

'Her colours are a cake-maker's – girlie pinks, Alice-band blues – and the way she writes on her pictures has been learnt from a bakery. But there is something there, nevertheless: a combination of empathy and cynicism that can be startling' The Sunday Times
