Bio

Raised in the San Francisco Bay area where she was involved in art classes, Vivian moved to Stanislaus County where she married and had a successful graphics business with her husband.  While working at her business she also went back to college to get her BA in fine arts.

 

She began working with children’s art programs and fell in love with education.  For twenty-two years Vivian taught elementary grades K-3 and worked as a language Development Specialist.  Her art background was extremely helpful in both areas of education.

 

Vivian’s move to Groveland, 24 miles from Yosemite National Park, brought Vivian back to her roots as an artist.  Her work is being exhibited throughout California, she is doing commissioned work, and work that is touring the country.

 

Vivian’s art is a journey with a purpose of visually being able to show that although time is intangible and fragile it exists in a physical world.  As we travel through this time and space with intensity we can’t hold on to the slightest moment.

 

Vivian is working full time as an artist in her home studio.  She is inspired by the history around her and the beauty of the Mother Lode area.
