Vivian is inspired by nature and aided by imagination - two ingredients she uses to create dramatic wildlife paintings. Observing animals in the outdoors has always been her passion and enables her to paint expressive portraits of wild animals such as deer, bison, cranes, quail and herons. She photographs her subjects to use as references for her studio paintings which she paints mainly with watercolors, but also with oils or pastels. She begins with abstract backgrounds which she then completes as realistic paintings.
With an Bachelor’s Degree in Art and a Master's in Science-Biology she has worked as a professional wildlife artist for 30 years, as a wildlife illustrator, an Art teacher at a New Mexico High School for 18 years, and as a professional artist exhibiting paintings in galleries and juried exhibits.

“I paint what I love - especially animals
of Central Oregon. They are all unique
to me so I try to express their individual personalities and postures so no two subjects ever look alike - even quail!”
