In 1989 Vronskaya was invited to New York by Anthony Caro to take part in a Triangle Workshop organised by Triangle Arts Trust. [3] Vronskaya said of the workshop "The most exciting thing about Triangle was the feeling that I could do anything". The workshop afforded Vronskaya the opportunity to experiment with abstract painting, which she continued to work on for some years after returning to London. [1]
Vronskaya married and moved to Scotland in the 90s, where she had two children. In 1999 she met Gerald Laing who encouraged her to continue with her painting. Shortly afterward she established a studio at Moniack Castle. She has exhibited in London, Edinburgh, Paris and Invernessshire since.

Portrait painting in Scotland includes all forms of painted portraiture in Scotland, from its beginnings in the early sixteenth century until the present day. The origins of the tradition of portrait painting in Scotland are in the Renaissance, particularly through contacts with the Netherlands. The first portrait of a named person that survives is that of Archbishop William Elphinstone, probably painted by a Scottish artist using Flemish techniques around 1505. Around the same period Scottish monarchs turned to the recording of royal likenesses in panel portraits, painted in oils on wood. The tradition of royal portrait painting in Scotland was probably disrupted by the minorities and regencies it underwent for much of the sixteenth century. It began to flourish after the Reformation, with paintings of royal figures and nobles by Netherlands artists Hans Eworth, Arnold Bronckorst and Adrian Vanson. A specific type of Scottish picture from this era was the "vendetta portrait", designed to keep alive the memory of an atrocity. The Union of Crowns in 1603 removed a major source of artistic patronage in Scotland as James VI and his court moved to London. The result has been seen as a shift "from crown to castle", as the nobility and local lairds became the major sources of patronage.
