From one poet to another she has an incredible attention to detail and a discerning eye she should write more its good for all of us. kind easy going fun collages are not my favourite art form, but hers still make me smile

vivienne has a truly unique way of seeing the world and translating ideas into images. she has a dry sense of humor that (like a good cocktail) refreshes and pleases the viewer. she is prolific, constantly surprising, inspiring and always makes me think twice about what i'm seeing. i am so glad she's here.
