Viv McElgunn-Lieskovsky

A long time resident of Penticton, British Columbia, Canada, Viv’s paintings are in public, private and corporate collections worldwide. She holds a B. Ed in Fine Arts and M. Ed in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia and is retired after being an art educator, counsellor, and administrator in BC public schools for 32 years. Viv remains passionate about art education, continuing to present workshops to children and adults and has facilitated sessions at UBCO and at provincial and national conferences. She is an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (FCA).

Viv’s work spans a variety of subject matter and mediums, and she is particularly intrigued by lighting as it affects landscapes and natural elements. The intensity of light and the range of contrasts it provides is reflected in her signature style of colour blocking on her canvasses.

Viv and her husband Dave, along with their daughter Heather (a budding artist) enjoy the varied lifestyle that Penticton offers.
