Madge Gill: A Mystical Marvel by Vivienne Roberts

Join Vivienne for a captivating, richly illustrated talk as she shares her research into the extraordinary life and legacy of Madge Gill, a self-taught mediumistic artist whose visionary journey began in the wake of profound personal tragedies. At nearly 40, after enduring illness, bereavement, and war, Madge experienced a life-altering spiritual awakening that ignited an unstoppable compulsion to create. This talk will explore the unseen forces that guided her hand, the people and events that shaped her path, and the remarkable body of work she produced—culminating in her celebrated inclusion in this year’s Venice Biennale.

About the Speaker

Vivienne Roberts is a London-based art historian specialising in the history of mediumistic art, with a focus on women practitioners. She curated her first exhibition on Madge Gill in 2009 and later founded madgegill.com, followed by mediumisticart.com and georgianahoughton.com, to showcase spirit-inspired artists. Vivienne's extensive independent research has led to the rediscovery of several overlooked mediumistic artists and the publication of many articles and contributions to exhibition catalogues. As the former curator and archivist from 2016 to 2024 at The College of Psychic Studies in London, she managed a large collection of spirit-inspired art, photographs, and artefacts. Her expertise has shaped several major exhibitions, including Strange Things Among Us (2021) and Creative Spirits (2022). Vivienne is also a member of the Visionary Women Research Group and the British Art Network.

is the UK's first absinthe distillery, founded by Directors of The Last Tuesday Society's Absinthe Parlour & Cocktail Bar. Celebrating spirit's connection to art, literature & mixology, Devil's Botany is unleashing the future of absinthe with bold expressions for the adventurous drinkers of today.
