Vivian’s focus is creating accessible work and centering stories of minoritized people. She approaches subjects regarding mixed-race identity\, colonization of the Global South\, sustainability in art and the environment\, all while reclaiming ancestral craft through costumes\, textiles\, and printmaking. \nVivian is passionate about exploring the ways in which we share information with each other and questions ideas that surround accessibility in art\, connection\, and healing in a creative and sustainable way. Allerton is one of Vivian’s favorite places to instruct art classes and finds both the grounds and the historic sites energizing for art making!
