Vivienne Douglas retired from corporate finance to reconnect with her lifelong interest in art. The Golden artist tries to tell stories with her paintings to engage the viewers and encourage them to explore how the stories resonate with their own life experiences. Her mask, Embracing the Light, represents a person who has made peace with himself and her loved ones and is ready to take the next step. It is a portrait of courage, pride and resiliency to be passed on through the generations.
