Vivienne St
Clair
 Born (1952) and educated in London, Vivienne St. Clair
lived in Hertford, England, where she worked as an archaeological
illustrator. It was during this period that Vivienne first began
painting.
Moving to Ireland in 1986 and painting professionally since
1993, Vivienne has held four solo exhibitions, shown in many
group exhibitions and has exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy
of Arts in Dublin and the Royal Ulster Academy in Belfast.
About her work and herself she says:-
Painting can be many things. For me painting is
about observing and learning. I paint the things I love, usually
driven by the beauty of what is before me.
If I look at something and it excites me then I
want to put that down in paint. From the joy of the visual discovery
of the subject my mind immediately turns to finding solutions
to best convey what I see and feel." |
