Vivienne Kazmirowicz

Vivienne is one of only 5 children in the world with a rare chromosomal 2 deletion . Vivi has had life a bit tougher than most so far with surgeries, frequent hospital admissions and poorly controlled seizures. Despite this, she brightens the lives of her family and all she meets, with her sunny disposition, strength and determination to defy the odds. She wears pink glasses to help her see, and has loved art from a very young age, particularly Indigenous dot paintings from her birthplace in the Northern Territory. Her selected charity, Variety, has special meaning to her as the NT branch have supported her participation in overseas rehabilitation therapy. Vivi and her family hope proceeds from her artworks will assist in increasing awareness as well as provide aid to special needs children, especially those living within remote regions of Australia.
