Originally training as a textile designer in the UK, Vivien is now a full time printmaker, practising several forms of printmaking. From her Home Studio/Gallery space at Waiake, she produces her small edition original prints, many on her etching press.

Vivien’s etchings, collagraphs, drypoints, reflief and screen prints are inspired by nature, especially native bird life, and her proximity to the ocean and coastline. A number of small gift items have been produced from these original works.
