My name is Vivienne Varay, and I am a visual artist and scholar. I make work about the emotional impact of objects and materials. My work is both research and concept focused. I am interested in how contemporary art jewelry creates a sense of identity & power through adornment. This website is my portfolio of work from the last eight years.

My work has been shown nationally and internationally in exhibitions at Hectare Galerie in Belgium, Armory Art Center in West Palm Beach, Hera Gallery in Rhode Island, TAG Gallery in Los Angeles, Tincal Lab in Portugal, and Gallery2052 in Chicago. I recently hosted my first solo exhibition during Munich Jewellery Week in 2024.

I am currently living and working in Pullman, Washington. I am a Lecturer in the department of Digital Technology and Culture at Washington State University. I received my Master of Fine Arts from the University of Georgia and my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Arizona State University.
