Join us for the opening reception of this one person exhibition by Vivien Collens. Collens’ sculptures are inspired by urban and natural environments—on view for this exploration of her work will be a combination of older and brand new works of various scale.

Vivien Collens was born in Cleveland Ohio and received a BFA from Carnegie Mellon U, and an MFA from Instituto Allende in Sand Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

She moved to NYC in 1977 and began exhibiting painted geometric wall installations, after achieving regional recognition in the Midwest.

Her work has been shown in galleries, museums and sculpture parks throughout the US,  and is in museum, corporate, public, and private collections.

She has received numerous fellowship residencies including Yaddo and Macdowell, and in recent years Salem Art Works. There, in 2017, she learned to weld and began focusing on sculpture.
