About "Cheetahs in Waiting"

Drawing from her own photography in Kenya and Botswana, Vivienne Lawrence captures a vivid African landscape. Cheetahs sit alert under a stormy sky with stylised palms, while impala leap across the scene. The top of the work is adorned with small Ethiopian crosses, cow bone buttons, and blue beads containing white beads. The left-hand border features Hausa stucco-inspired patterns, and original painted motifs surround the cheetahs. This piece blends wildlife observation with symbolic design and rich African craft traditions.

About Vivienne

Vivienne, daughter of Bobby, grew up in the Lowveld in a home full of art. After school, she did a secretarial course and then studied ceramics in Italy for a year.

She worked as a ceramic artist for 14 years and had a small studio at the Craft Gallery in Rocky Drift. Her first show at the Winkler Hotel in White River sold out, followed by another at the Nelspruit Library.

In the 1990s, Vivienne began taking photos of wildlife while travelling with her husband John Bassi, a helicopter pilot working in game capture. They travelled across Southern Africa, and she also visited Kenya twice for photography.

Later, Vivienne started painting on fabric in her studio at Casterbridge and held shows in the Lowveld and Johannesburg.

In 2018, Vivienne became ill with a brain tumour and had to stop working. With support from her cousin Heather, she began painting again--using her left hand. The artworks she creates now show her strength and love for art.

Today, Vivienne makes bold silkscreen prints of animals with African patterns. Her work is used in hotels, lodges, offices, and homes.

She also makes prints, pillow covers, table runners, and scarves.
