VIveka barnett
Viveka Barnett holds a BFA from the University of Houston and studied with Dorothy Hood at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. A belief in the idea of eternal recurrence and the notion that the world will repeat itself forever are ongoing themes in her artwork. It is an emotional and spiritual combination which enables Barnett to compare moments in history to current events. Her long career includes exhibitions with DiverseWorks, The Art League of Houston, Blaffer Gallery (now the Blaffer Art Museum), the Glassell School of Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The New Mexico Museum of Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the Philadelphia Arts Alliance, and with Houston art galleries William Graham Gallery, the DuBose Gallery, and Heidi Vaughan Fine Art. Barnett taught Art After School at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH), and was a Hunting Art Prize finalist in 2008 and 2015.
