Vivian
is an accomplished artist of quite varied subject matter; but inherent
in all her works is the beauty of color and how it is affected by light
and shade. She works in pastel, watercolor, acrylic, and colored
pencil--always striving to achieve beauty in each medium through her
emotional use of color and tone. Vivian has been professionally active
in group and individual shows since 1975. She regularly teaches pastel,
portraiture, colored pencil, and is also in demand for demonstrations
and workshops in these disciplines as well as in watercolor.
Of particular interest is painting on location. The excitement and
involvement with the moment is particularly rewarding. "The whole body,
and its senses, is involved with nature because of the urgency to depict
an increasingly changing scene," says Vivian. A favorite area is
Ontario, North of Georgian Bay, where the artist travels at least twice
yearly--painting and giving workshops. Vivian was Artist-in-Residence at
Harper's Ferry National Historical Park, Harpers' Ferry, West Virginia
in 1999. Vivian's special watercolor technique is spotlighted in a
6-page chapter in The Watercolor Landscape Techniques of 23
International Artists, published by International Artist and also
available through North Light Books.
