Vivian Ursula Bratton


Vivian Ursula was born on the Hamakua coast. She moved to Alaska where she was active in artists in school programs, creating indoor as well as permanent outdoor murals. Since returning to the islands she is a member of the Association of Hawaii Artists, Honolulu Printmakers, East Hawaii Cultural Center and Pastel Artists of Hawaii, where she was  awarded signature member status. "As a multimedia artist of printmaking, pastel and acrylic painting, I strive to capture the spirit and sense of the place or subject, many times letting go of the subject. My goal isn't to create a reproduction of the subject but rather to capture the essence and magic that captured my attention."
