Petite Artiste
Vivian S.K.
Vivian S.K. is an engaging 8-year old who draws every day in
her more than 25 sketchbooks. “It’s just kinda fun,” she says,
“I like it a lot. I think it’s part of my nature. It’s a connection
from my brain to my hand.” She likes drawing girls and food,
and prefers to work in pencil and crayon. She says, “Pencil
is easy to erase if you make a mistake and crayons come in a
wide variety of colors.”
When asked about her artistic influences, she states, “When
I was a baby, my mom encouraged me to draw, so I love it.
I also do collaborative art projects with my Papa.” Vivian
has traveled across the U.S. with her family, visiting many
museums, including the MOCA in San Diego and the MOMA in
New York City. She says that, “I like Modern Art best because
it seems different from all the other art.”
In the future, Vivian would like to “make a giant tapestry with
a city on it. I’ve already made a town of weird buildings with
cars on it out of paper, so a city is next.”
