Viv Wotton

Viv is originally from Oamaru and now lives in Christchurch with her husband and three daughters. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design.

Viv is predominantly a landscape artist, painting in oils. She is also highly acclaimed for her drawings and print-making skills.

“Thematically, the academic side of my practice continues to explore and evoke ideas about identity, connection, trace, residue (of time) and how belonging can be constituted through place. I'm particularly interested in gesture and subtlety. capturing those small, often unspoken moments in time.”

Viv has had exhibitions at The Anchorage, CoCA Christchurch and Galleries in Oamaru.
