ABOUT VIVIENNE LITTLEY
Devon Artist…
In 2007, I made the inspiring move from Surrey to the picturesque village of Kilmington, East Devon with my two daughters. Art has always been my passion, but it was this relocation – surrounded by the breathtaking Jurassic coastline and ever-changing skies – that truly ignited my journey as a professional artist. I am largely self-taught, with over more than a decade of dedicated art tuition I have continued to refine and deepen my practice.
My artistic range is as diverse as it is expressive. From intricate pen and ink portraits to expansive abstract acrylic canvases, my work is often characterised by a serene, ethereal quality. I aim to evoke a sense of peace and tranquillity, offering a visual escape from the everyday. I’m particularly drawn to the harmonious relationship between sky and water, and the intense power held within those quiet moments.
Using a mix of acrylics, inks and watercolours, I often incorporate iridescent, metallic and textured mediums to create shifting light and depth that change with the viewer’s perspective. This dynamic quality means my work is best experienced in person.
My recent commissions include paintings of loved ones in peaceful settings that evoke cherished memories – something I take great pride and pleasure in, pouring my heart and soul into each piece.
Whether you’re looking for a unique gift or a painting to enhance your home, I carefully consider colour schemes, choosing hues that complement or contrast beautifully with your space.
I’ve created bespoke house portraits, wedding and pet portraits, and even captured favourite singers. Every painting or portrait is a personal, meaningful gift with its own story.
My artwork has been exhibited in various venues across Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, Somerset and Surrey.
