Vyvyan Rundgren
Vyvyan Rundgren has lived in Virginia for over thirty years. Her interest in art began as a child and stretched from watercolor to oil to painted floor cloths and then to barn quilts. For eight years she was an instructor at the John C. Campbell Folk School in NC. Her book, Floor Cloths, Quilts & Pages was released in 2015. She is also an avid gourd artisan using only pyrography and carving to enhance each gourd. Her gourds saved her emotionally for two years while her second husband battled cancer (passing away recently). She serves as an officer on the Board of Directors for the Art Guild of Greene County and with the support of the Greene County Economic Development & Tourism she founded the Blue Ridge Barn Quilt project which has grown to be the largest barn quilt trail in Virginia, now having over 150 on display in Greene County. She not only paints many of the barn quilts, she also conducts workshops each month to teach others how to create their own.
