Viv's work spans a variety of subject matter and mediums. She is particularly intrigued by contrast and light and how it constantly adjusts and changes every minute, every day, every month, every season. Her work reminds the viewer that life is an evolution of subtle changes. Passage of time is reflected in Viv's signature style of creating blocks of value changes in her pieces.
