"Great Horned Owl"    Oil      Vivian Olsen

 Birds and mammals occur constantly in Vivian's paintings which are usually painted with oils, and also with watercolor or pastel. Observing and photographing her subjects in the wild provides her with detailed references, along with her sketches and drawings, which she uses to create life-like paintings. 

Vivian paints from her studio in Eagle Crest, Oregon and exhibits her artwork regularly throughout the Northwest in group shows with the High Desert Art League or in solo exhibits.

Her artwork may be viewed on her websites:   www.vivianolsen.com and www.highdesertartleague.com. She is President of the High Desert Art League, and a member of Oil Painters of America, and American Women Artists.
