Vivian has been an artist for over a decade. She received her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and has utilized art therapy with visually and hearing impaired children. She has worked in various mediums over the years, but an encounter with her future mentor, Jo Bean, changed her path in life forever.

As an apprentice to Jo Bean on the beautiful island of Saba, Vivian learned the fine art of lampwork bead making. The Caribbean ocean proved to be the ultimate inspiration as Vivian spent these two years innovating her technique.

Vivian, being an avid photographer and world traveler, has fused her love for art and nature into unique jewelry designs. Each of her creations is painstakingly handcrafted from the highest quality Italian glass and exquisite stones imported directly from India.

Vivian makes her home base in Atlanta, Georgia but she and her husband are currently traveling throughout the United States as he completes his medical school education. She loves to hear from her clients and can be reached at info@viviansvision.com Vivian is always available to create custom designs and also provides consulting services and supplies in order for you to live your own lampworking dreams!

I am a member of the International Society of Glass Beadmakers (ISGB) and The Southern Flames chapter. Also, as a Self Representing Artist, I offer beads that are kiln annealed and thoroughly cleaned before offering them to you!

Pictures of all beads in our online store were taken in outdoor light, but please be aware that differences in computer monitors may make the beads appear slightly lighter or darker on your computer than in "real life".  Although all my beads are carefully kiln-annealed for added strength and durability, they are created from glass, and like all glass they can chip or break if dropped/thrown/crushed or otherwise abused.  These beads are NOT suitable for small children, as they may pose a choking hazard if swallowed.

As always, Vivian's Vision offers FREE USPS SHIPPING within the continental U.S. - I do not ship to Canada or internationally. I am not responsible for service transit time. All beads come from a smoke & pet free home environment!

Please note that the PayPal is the only accepted form of payment. All winning bidders are required to pay within 3 days of auction end; all non-payments shall result in relisting and negative feedback. All winning auctions are shipped within 3 business days of payment receipt.
