Vivien Lee

Bio

Vivien is a Singapore-born, multi-passionate creative with two Master’s degrees, in Education and the Sacred Arts. A qualified life coach and certified spiritual director, she spent two decades as a lecturer, researcher, and consultant in business, education and human resource development before dedicating herself fully to art. Her lifelong curiosity about identity, purpose, and meaning now finds expression through mixed media painting. An acrylic artist since 2007, Vivien has refined her voice through continuous experimentation. She creates reflective, dynamic works that combine collage and water-based media, while also pursuing writing and bookbinding as parallel creative practices. Silence, stillness, and solitude form the heart of her process, nurturing her bold and evolving projects. Deeply inspired by nature’s textures and rhythms, she translates her observations into layered gestures that mirror her inner landscape. Her art traces the journey of her wonderings and wanderings—how her heart feels, her mind sees, and her soul imagines. Vivien has participated in numerous group exhibitions and her works are held in private collections in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Being consecutively shortlisted in the Emerging Artist category of the UOB Painting of the Year, Singapore’s premier art competition (2024 and 2025), marks a high point in her artistic journey. She is also the published author of two books: The Way of the Cross with St Joseph: A Virtues-Based Personal Devotion for Healing and Reconciliation, and To Be What We Are: Devotional Art Inspired by the Psalms; both of which feature her art as a means to aid prayerful reflection.
