November 2025 Student of the Month • Vivian G.
We’re thrilled to feature 10-year-old Vivian G. as our November Student of the Month! Vivian is a long-time art student at Pastimes for a Lifetime, having completed our courses in Graphite, Oil Pastel, and Watercolor, and is now studying Acrylics with veteran art instructor Linda Wehrli. And on top of that, she has been studying at Pastimes since she was 6 years old! #Impressive 
As our Student of the Month, Vivian is awarded a Virtual Solo Art Showcase with a feature here on Pastimes’ blog. On display are Vivian’s 18 exquisite new acrylic works and some watercolors. Captivating studies of florals, architecture, portraits, and still life have been mounted on virtual walls inside a chic warehouse-style gallery. Linda chose the song Happy by Pharrell Williams to accompany guests through the virtual walkthrough (copyright by Universal Music Corp. o/b/o Universal Pictures Music and EMI Blackwood Music Inc.) We’ve revealed some of her stellar work below as a teaser. Find them and more on display at her Virtual Gallery.
