Exhibiting June & July, 2024: Vivian Weinstein Brisman

Exhibit Title – Nature

Statement

I have always loved animals and nature. They are a major inspiration in the work that I do. I find inspiration in all kinds of creatures, both domestic and wildlife, big, small, or in between. I like to draw attention to a moment in time, an emotion, or a special quality that deserves attention in animal life. This relates to all the art that I create – portraits, landscapes and still life. I sometimes find that I can express something better through one of these genres, so they are a part of my art repertoire as well. My work expresses my connection with our environment. I have a need to create – to take something that exists in the real world and I combine it with my imagination to create an art form. When people enjoy my work, it makes me happy.

Bio

Vivian was born and raised in Lima, Peru. She has been in this country for over 40 years and moved to South Florida three years ago. She has been painting and creating art for most of her adult life. She explores mainly representational images based on nature, for example landscapes with farm animals, fruits, flowers with insects and birds. Color, line and design are keys to her expression. She is a multimedia artist who as of late has worked primarily in oils. Vivian has shown her work in many venues, including the MAR JCC, the Broward Main Library in Ft. Lauderdale as part of the “3+1 TheArtists’ Organization”, the JCC On the Palisades in Tenafly, NJ, and libraries, offices and restaurants in NJ and in NY. She has sold her work to private collectors in the USA and abroad.

Collection is tailored to meet the needs of the general public and the students of Broward College. Subject specialties include business, leadership, computer science, law, nursing and allied health. The library also provides access to a variety of newer resources including Veteran hot spots, Launch Pads, Merge Cubes, early literacy AWE stations and iPads (for in-house use).
