Introduction... to the creative expressions of Bill Vivrett. He is a seasoned WATERCOLOR ARTIST, CREATIVE WRITER
and PHOTOGRAPHER. Welcome to his uniquely original world! In his wonderfully wacky vision are:
-His GALLERY of watercolors and digital photographs
and
-His IMAGINATION WORDSHOP of Creative Writings and Ideas.
Bill has retired from a long and rewarding career in teaching: everything from Grammar with seventh graders to secular Humanism to young college students in the 60's, to watercolor with Senior Citizens.
His interests have since become increasingly diverse ___ to include opera, gardening computers, digital photography, remodeling, volunteer work, spiritual renewal and living life to the fullest.
He continues a fascination with Design, Creating, Teaching, Travel, People and The Fine Arts.
Bill and his wife live near the HEARTLAND HILLS
he loves so much.
On this website, he invites you into his imaginative, sometimes wacky world. (Read the EXIT INTERVIEW.... even
write a new ending if you wish). CAUTION, in Bill's world view, larger than life hyperbole may wear on you or you may find verisimilitude, running amuck, especially in Tales from the Heartland Hills.
But whether he is militant against NEO-Calvinism, America's continuing trashing of the West (read Wallace Stegner or Tim Egan)-- Or the changing/re-writing of American History, he hopes to remain relevant and provocative in ideas and actions
Read what happened at No Gun Ri, Korea, 1950 at the end of THE TROLL, his short story for Easter.
Bill hopes that you will look into his world atop the Big Rock Candy Mountain. Look at the watercolors, the photography. Think about the stories and ideas. Feel free to challenge him or disagree! |
