\n\t\t\t\t\t\tVivian has a rare gift for capturing not just what a pet looks like, but who they are. Nearly four years ago she gave me one of the most meaningful gifts I have ever received \u2014 a portrait of my beloved Bilu. What Vivian captured from a photograph is extraordinary \u2014 his soulful gaze, his personality, the particular way he looked at you. It hangs in my kitchen, my sweet companion still and forever. I am so grateful.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tI live in New York, and our apartment is filled with Vivian\u2019s artwork.\nIt was important for us to bring elements of nature into our home, a sense of calm and breath within such an intense city.\nHer landscapes, which remind us of Vancouver and open spaces, together with her signature stone paintings, create a very peaceful and grounding atmosphere in the apartment.\nThere is something about her work that feels both delicate and profound, as if it gently slows down the energy of the room.\nWe constantly receive compliments from people who visit our home, but more than anything, it\u2019s simply a joy to live with her art every day.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe beautifully intricate painting Vivian created is a lasting legacy of our cherished doodle Lola. She captured the essence of Lola\u2019s personality in vibrant and exact detail. Thank you dear Vivian!\nAn extraordinary display of talent by Vivian Claman. The depth, texture, and lighting on the rocks are so realistic that the canvas truly comes alive. It is rare to find an artist who can capture nature with such precision and soul.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tOur Portuguese Waterdog , Cooper, no longer wanders this earth causing havoc wherever he roamed. Whether he was stealing hot dogs from a barbie or barking circles around some poor leashed pet.\nCooper was a cheeky one! I miss those days\u2026 This part above is Optional \nLucky for me Vivian Claman painted his portrait not once but twice so he could remain part of our life both at home and at our cabin. \nWhen we commissioned Vivian we had no idea of her innate talent to depict our beloved pet. Viv is able to connect her clients with their pets through their eyes. \nThese loving eyes look to you as if asking for a forgotten treat or a scratch behind the ears. Their eyes reflect trust and affection. \nVivian also was able to portray our pet's personality through his posture. His playful energy abounds in our portrait. \nViv used light and somehow movement and the combined result is a very realistic image of our Cooper.\nVivian Claman is an accomplished artist and I would be thrilled if she would paint our next dog...unfortunately my husband says there isn't going to be another dog....\ud83d\ude48\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tVivian\u2019s painting is a beautiful example of contemporary realism executed with remarkable restraint and sophistication. \nVivian\u2019s use of a monochromatic palette creates a calm, meditative atmosphere, allowing texture, form, shadow, and composition to take stage. \nThe stones feel almost tactile \u2014 grounded, balanced, and quietly expressive \u2014 demonstrating exceptional technical control while maintaining emotional subtlety.\n The limited colour range enhances the timeless quality of the work and gives it an understated elegance that integrates effortlessly into a refined interior. A striking study in simplicity, realism, and tonal harmony.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tMy birthday is in February, but in May 2025, I was caught off guard when I stepped into my room. My parents surprised me with a belated birthday gift via an unexpected but brilliant surprise: a portrait of my dog and best friend, Grit, was perched on top of my record player. I was in awe not only of my parents\u2019 kindness and love but also the way the artist captured the beacon of joy that is my dog. This portrait has genuinely become my most cherished present I\u2019ve ever received from anyone as it captures my pup so well, it was gifted in the spirit of deep love, and it\u2019s timeless. I know my best friend, Grit, won\u2019t be around forever, and I am okay with that, but as long as I have this artwork, I will never forget just how much his licking, playfulness, and gentle soul brightens up everyone\u2019s spirits. I am extremely grateful to Vivian for painting such a meaningful art piece that I will continue to treasure. \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
