Thanks for stopping by my website. From this page you will be able to
go to my listings of my up coming teaching and exhibit calendar and see some of my scarves and silk art. You may commission
me to paint a silk scarf or other item for you. Or you may pick from one in my collection. As an artist
and professional textile designer I was first introduced to silk painting over sixteen years ago and became captured by the
medium. The flow of the dyes and the way the colors run into each other on this sensual silken fabric is beautiful and sometimes
unpredictable. Color is an important part of my work, so the strong intensity of the dyes is a great asset when combining
fantasy with intense color to recreate my subject. When I decide on a subject for my work , I hope to capture the
beauty of things around me whether it is everyday objects , places I've been or just from my imagination. I frequently travel
with my camera and use many of the photos I have taken for inspiration. I believe beauty can be found in the most mundane
settings. The key is how you interpret your observations to bring forth that beauty into art. Vivien Pollack's painting , "Table Set for One" won honorable
mention at the Hecksher Museum in Huntington NY. The New York Times quoted : "Among the notable two -dimensional works are
Vivien Pollack's "Table Set for One " in which everything is slightly askew without being awkward or clumsy. " "Art is not what you see, but what you make others see." ~ Edgar Degas |
