Yvonne Vivian

Title:          VIVIAN

Medium:    Fabric Collage Art/16” x 20” Studio Wood Panel

Vivian was one of my first commissioned portraits. I created it from a photograph of a young woman’s favorite cat. Vivian has since moved here and there, from Rochester NY, to Pittsburgh PA, and finally settling in San Francisco CA. I tried to capture her nature as she has become such an adaptable national traveler. A true example of the devotion that domestic animals share, as soulful family members in our lives. 

My business is all about bringing joy and wonder to others with handmade decor offerings. I draw inspiration from subject matter that shows even the small things in life can bring moments of delight.  

With an eye for expressive textiles, I capture the essence of each subject (be it animal or inanimate) by painting with fabric. My layered art is purely authentic using timeless techniques to create lasting visually inspiring pieces.

My media of choice is a colored palette of fabric selected, carefully prepared, and pieced together by hand in such a way as to mimic brush strokes with paint and paintbrush.  It's a process that brings me great joy. My wish is to transfer this heart-made energy into your life.

Take home anything from my shop to display how you appreciate who you authentically are with pieces that express your uniqueness.
