Meet the Artist
Creating original acrylic paintings inspired by automotive culture, pop art, and modern design.
Hi! My Name is Vivian
I'm a self-taught acrylic artist based in Southern California, but my love for art started long before I ever picked up a paintbrush. Ever since I was a little girl, I was constantly drawing. If there was a piece of paper nearby, I was sketching on it. Art was always something that came naturally to me, and it became one of the first ways I learned to express myself.
I didn't begin painting until high school, during a time when I needed a creative outlet. What started as a form of therapy quickly became something much more meaningful. I found that painting gave me a sense of peace, focus, and purpose that I hadn't experienced anywhere else. Not long after, I realized this wasn't just a hobby anymore—it was something I wanted to take seriously.
Today, I create paintings inspired by automotive culture, pop culture, anime, and contemporary art. From luxury vehicles and iconic characters to completely custom commissions, every piece is painted entirely by hand using acrylic paint and built layer by layer in my home studio. I love creating artwork that captures personality, emotion, and the things people are passionate about.
One of the things I love most about being an artist is that there is always something new to learn. I'm constantly experimenting with new techniques, challenging myself with different subjects, and finding ways to improve with every canvas. As a growing artist, I take pride in sharing not only my finished work, but also the process behind it. From early sketches to final details, I enjoy bringing people along for the journey and hope to share even more of that creative process in the future.
More than anything, I want people to feel connected to the work they bring into their homes. Art has the ability to tell stories, spark conversations, and make a space feel truly personal. Whether you're purchasing an original painting, a print, or trusting me with a custom commission, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to create something meaningful for you.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my studio and support my journey. I'm excited to continue growing as an artist, sharing my work with the world, and creating pieces that people can enjoy for years to come.
The Process
What starts as a simple sketch slowly comes to life through layers of acrylic paint, patience, and attention to detail. Each stage shows a different part of the journey from idea to finished artwork.
Concept & Sketch
The piece begins with pencil lines, mapping out the shapes, movement, and main details before paint is added.
Blocking In Shapes
The first layers of paint define the major shapes and create the foundation for the rest of the piece.
Building Contrast
Dark and light areas are strengthened to bring more depth, structure, and realism into the painting.
Fine Details
Smaller details, edges, highlights, and refinements are added to make the piece feel more complete.
Finished Painting
The final piece comes together after layers of detail, cleanup, and finishing touches.
Every painting I create is completely hand-painted and designed with the client in mind.
Whether you have a detailed vision or just a rough idea, I can help transform it into a unique piece of artwork created specifically for your space.
