Feedback on Vivien's workshops

'About the Artist Talk', 24th March 2010
 - Thank you for a wonderful and truly remarkable evening at the Western Park Museum.
 - I cannot remember ever being so emotionally involved in a presentation. Upon reflection, I think it was that you spoke from your heart and soul, and demonstrated that you are living your dream, no ifs nor buts or maybes, and creating pure beauty that is making our world a more joyous place. You shared your journey, your learnings along the way, how you changed those learnings into new adventures, and you were generous and exuded love for those around you who have been part of that journey.
 - Thank you for giving me the privilege of being present upon a night that I will long remember and reflect upon with delight.
  Richard Field OBE.
