Viviana was born in Argentina and holds an Art Degree in Interior Design from the National University of Tucumán. She taught art in high school and offered decorative painting classes from her home studio in Salta, Argentina.

In 2013, she moved to Livermore, CA, where her work has been recognized in local art shows and featured in several books. Her love for animals has inspired her to support nonprofit organizations through custom pet portraits and wildlife drawings.

Viviana’s art tells stories of loss, resilience, and new beginnings, with patience and love. She has been creating detailed colored pencil and graphite art for years and is now expanding into acrylic painting and collage, exploring new freedom and searching for her unique voice—a broader, more holistic expression of her art. Her fresh realism style is enriched by her Latino heritage and deep connection to the natural world.
