I went missing & now I have found myself! I have two years to make up for & I resolve to do the best I possibly can if you will please give me the opportunity!
So, having said that, I invite you to return soon & hopefully my Blog ‘Share Art’ will provide you with delightful surprises!
Love as always,
Rivian🙏🏻🥰
Dear ART lovers everywhere,
I am so excited to present to you some extremely creative ARTISTS,, each one unique in her/his own way!
I guarantee that you will see unusual work, ART that I hope will engage you and perhaps interest you to look at again & perhaps want to hang in your own home!
The work shown is by my long-time students, some professional ARTISTS in their own right. Every piece in this show could be seen in a contemporary gallery that deals in high quality ART! Trust me, I know, because of my decades long ART experience; studying ART all over the world, doing my own work & teaching ART for 100 yrs.! 😅
I hope that you wll take time to look at all of the work, perhaps visiting the Blog more than once.
Some of the work is for sale, some Artists are open to commissions. Please contact me with inquiries about size & media,. If the piece is for sale you will see a price listed, or perhaps you would like to see more of an artist’s work, feel free to .request contact information.

Art has always been a passion in my life: one of my earliest memories is creating new colors from my Crayola 8-pack by overlaying one shade with another!
After a career in high tech corporate finance, I decided to focus on further developing my artistic skills and learning new media. These days I mainly work in mixed media and acrylic painting, creating both representational and abstract pieces. I enjoy exploring various effects using form, texture, rhythm and color relationships to express my subject.

Why do I do art? I’ve been compelled to do it since I was a kid in grammar school when I drew grasshoppers on the margins of biology reports, cartoons in school newspapers and throughout the years attending the Chicago art institute,in college and as an industrial designer applying aesthetics along with function to products. I challenge myself working in various mediums such as oil, acrylics,pastel,watercolor and as presented in this exhibit, cut paper/mixed medium collages.

I love a good story. Travel has led me to real and imagined stories. What’s behind those craggy, lined faces? The exotic and colorful headwraps? Pieces of those travels drift back to me and become mixed-media creations of paper, bolts and screws, magazine bits, dried paint blobs, collected-fabrics. I pull those pieces together in mixed-media creations of stories. Examine my art and you'll find an integration of special handmade papers, bolts and screws, torn magazine bits, dried paint blobs, collected-fabrics, photos, keys, feathers. No, it's not junk. When put together through my eyes, the pieces connect to become art-stories out of my imagination and maybe yours.

Moving on: In January, 2020 my Husband Hans & I made, probably the most memorable trip of our lives, INDIA! Hans had hitchhiked through that part of the world a lifetime ago, however, it had always been my dream to see one of the most spiritual places in the world, so as life would have it, we went in January.....just in time! I have to say that this expeience was life changing for me. You hear this expression often don't you? Well, I don't use it lightly! India, with her lovely smiling people, spectacular monuments, ancient 250,000 year history, vibrant culture & color everywhere, affected me more than any other single experience of my life!
So, friends, "Pictures speak louder than words" & boy! do I have pictures! In fact I have published a beautiful book of our trip to India, &, if after seeing some of my photos you are interested in having your own copy, please inquire by e-mailing me@ 4choux@sbcglobal.net
So, I hope that you enjoy 'INDIA & HER KARMA, THE PEOPLE, THROUGH MY EYES'
Please stay well!
Love,
Rivian xxoo
