 ARTIST STATEMENT

“Artwork By Vivianne” is a collection of works that demonstrates Vivianne’s ability to utilise the inspiring qualities of colour to impact the audience and spark the imagination.

Viv has demonstrated an interest in colour from a young age. Over the years, she has become appreciative of the ability for colour to be vibrant, expressive and evoke emotion. When she works with colour, she is reminded that those chosen for a particular piece must work together to illustrate the story behind the work and capture the attention of the observer.

 Self-taught, Vivianne specialises in large artworks utilising oil pastel on craft wood (MDF). Each piece produced is initiated with research and a decision about a story to be illustrated. A piece is considered complete when the character of the illustrated story and their precise nature has been truthfully captured.

 Frequent subject matter includes fantasy (angels and fairies), fictional characters (taken from mythology and literature) and children’s artwork.

 ILLUSTRATIONS

Naturally, the story-telling qualities of “Artwork By Vivianne” lends itself seamlessly to children’s book illustration, magazines, cover art and greeting cards. Vivianne provides freelance illustrator services on request.
