I am visually impaired since birth. I loved art and physical education in school. I could not predict how that has paved a journey for my life. I now paint and share my story at speaking engagements.
My name is Viviane Forest and I am visualy impaired painter. I am also a multiple gold medal Paralympian with 7 medals, from 3 games, competing for Canada in 2 sports.
I am originally from Quebec and now reside in Alberta. I have 4% functional vision. For a few years I attended a school for the blind where I learned braille, and different fine art methods such as sculpting, painting and music. Throughout my adolescent years I developed a passion and aptitude for sports. This turned into a career that has been rewarding and provided valuable experiences, learning to push physical and mental boundaries. After winning a total of 7 Paralympic medals, many world championship competitions in a summer sport (Goalball) and a winter sport (Alpine Ski Racing). I retired from competitive sport in 2013 I now have time to explore my artistic side as part of my on-going healing journey. I hope you enjoy my work too.
