Marian JA Vieux
Marian JA Vieux is a Wisconsin based artist working with living nature for inspiration. She
utilizes overlays of mixed media and modalities with an imaginative, time-centered perspective.
Vieux earned a MA from Emporia State University in silversmithing and sculpture and a MFA
from the University of Kansas. She studied with Professors Truman Lowe and Roger
Shimomura while developing her ephemeral Land Art and Interior Fractal Landscape style.
With her move to Wisconsin, the forest became the focus of her Land Art. As artist in residence
for schools, colleges, public events; fellowships at the MacDowell Colony, NH; Ossabaw
Island, GA; and exhibits in Evanston and Chicago her commitment to art and ecology
escalated. This work was published in Public Art Proposals, Ecology and Art by The
International Sculpture Center and the NICAF in Japan and in Inland Architect magazine.
In her studio, near Lake Michigan, she actively constructs a unique style of Eco-portraits and Fractal Landscapes of North American horticulture and Wisconsin’s forest and wet-lands, promoting the creative arts and land preservation.
