Artist Interview: Viviane

Meet Viviane

Q: What inspires you about Bremerton?

A: The community inspires me the most. Each community event I go to I meet people that are excited to grow their ideas and belief in supporting the community. I love Bremerton’s quaint but growing energy.

Q: What drew you to your medium?

A: I was instantly drawn to henna because of its ability to slow down time. Each process of henna: design creation, application, mixing and curing the paste takes time, effort and focus.

Q: What is your favorite local spot?

A: Beyond Reality VR Arcade!

Q: Where do you find inspiration?

A: In nature! There are so many trails, hikes and amazing views in Kitsap and most of my inspiration comes from being outside.

Q: What does your perfect First Friday look like?

A: Somewhere along a waterfront where everyone can enjoy a nice view, warm with a gentle breeze. A local band playing in the background and craft and food vendors!

Q: Where can we find more of your art?

A: Most of my art is living, so you will likely see it on people after an appointment or event! Instagram @sweetleafhenna or my website: www.sweetleafhenna.com
