Brush Painting

I started Van Vliet Arts in 2005 as a way of bringing together my three artistic loves: poetry, painting, and jewelry design.  Whether I am writing, painting, or creating jewelry I face the same puzzle.  It involves the question of placement and the creation of an architecture.  The architecture must hold in place the juxtaposition of image, color, word, or shape.  As I explore these different genres I realize time after time how each informs the other.  That as I choose color and pattern in making a necklace I am sharpening the tool I use for choosing words and patterns in a poem.  As I lay down images in a painting I am using the tool for which  in poetry I place images on the page within a poem.


I take an enormous pride in creating my artworks, and hope that you'll find something here that you like. I also can create custom orders; call or email and let me know what you want.

I look forward to doing business with you.
