Leanin Tree Birthday Card 'Lookin' At You'.

Throughout her lifetime, Vivi Crandall was known for her high energy level and her passion for all living creatures. Crandall developed her extraordinary painting skills at some of Europe's finest art schools, including the Sorbonne in Paris and the Bauhaus in Munich. Returning to the states, she settled in the foothills of Wyoming and dedicated herself to expressing her love of animals on canvas. She quickly established herself as one of America's premiere wildlife artists, and her reputation continued to grow throughout her lifetime. In addition to delighting countless art lovers with her ability to capture the souls of her subjects, Crandall generously donated artwork to help raise millions for such organizations as Ducks Unlimited, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and the National Wildlife Federation. The artist once described herself as "a limited edition of one." Those who were privileged to know her couldn't have agreed more.
