The following is the information you've requested

Vivian has a true love for her vocation and she’s
trying to bring spiritual stimulating artwork into the churches. Her diversity as a painter makes it
easy to define a specially designed work for any
church. She’s creating small to wall scale
paintings on wood panels or canvas. Vivian’s
icons are evoking works of fine art and also
visual aids that lead those who view and venerate the icons deeper into the spiritual life of
the church

Born in Greece, she moved to N. America in 1990 and since 1991 she’s living in Houston, TX with
her husband and two daughters. She studied Byzantine iconography and had her
apprenticeship in the atelier of Mr. Hantzaras, one of the leading iconographers in Greece. She
continued her studies in art at the University of
Houston. During the past 20 years, she painted
in many mediums including oils, acrylics,
watercolors, but her primary medium is the egg
tempera, one of the oldest and most versatile
mediums

Final word, brrother Gerasimos
The Icon in question [glint]Has Not Been Consecrated [/glint]by the Orthodox Church
Our Lady of Sorrow, is ATribute to 9/11
The icon is an original design.This modern composition incorporates themes of the 9/11 tragedy. With its unique composition and artistic quality, this icon is definitely a collector's item and not a spritual relic

In Christ I remain His sinful-loyal servant
and your loving brother
