  • Venue. Casa de las Tejeringas, Plaza de las Flores, Estepona.

  • Date. Last day Wednesday 15 April.

  • Opening hours. 9am to 8pm

  • Contact. A restropective review of Vivienne's work is available in a colour catalogue from whiff34@hotmail.com

Sometimes funny, often touching and always beautiful, her photographs are found in private houses as well as galleries and small hotels all along the Costa del Sol, while one of her limited editions - of a wrecked old Chevy with a gaping radiator - faces a dentist's chair in Gibraltar.

Not many photographers will climb a windy sand dune for an image of grass blowing under the clouds, or wait for just the right moment for two old ladies to erupt into laughter, as infectious on print as when it happened. But Vivienne's patience is limitless when she has a picture in her mind's eye.

She studied photography for several years in England, concentrating mainly on black-and-white work in the darkroom. These days she prints her photographs digitally. "This means that I can print limited editions and also work in colour."

One of the founder members of Art Gaucín, she exhibits at their Open Studios event and at the Art Society's annual exhibitions in Benahavís. Now she's back in Estepona, "... where I first came over fifty years ago! In the summer months I am usually found on a boat on the canals of France or Holland, with Peter and our dog Molly."
