Vianna is a popular and passionate instructor and teaches workshops nationally and abroad. She has a BS in Education from Eastern Michigan University but credits her art education to books, long hours at the easel, and the generosity of talented friends.

Vianna lives with her husband, Mark, in Romeo, MI. They have two grown children, Shawn and Anna, who have served as her models and inspiration.



Stunning feature. The point about building an artistic voice through fundamentals is so underrated these days. Too many skip straight to 'expresion' without the technical backbone, but Szabo's trajectory shows how mastery in multiple mediums amplifies creative flexibilty. Kinda makes sense why she's such an effective teacher.
