Celebrity artist aids Brontë fund
She is best known for her controversial paintings of rock stars and royalty – and for attracting celebrity buyers of her work, such as George Michael.
But Stella Vine has turned to the past in her latest work – of the Brontë sisters – to raise funds to repair the roof of the Parsonage Church at Haworth. Vine, whose clients also include Charles Saatchi, is a self-taught artist who ran away from her Northumberland home to become a stripper in London before discovering her talent.
