Vivienne Binns has worked primarily as a painter, but has also continually worked across media and contexts. She worked almost exclusively with enamelling for a period from the late 1960s to mid 1970s, and extensively in the area of community arts throughout the 1970s and early 1980s. She was a founding member of the Sydney Women's Art Movement and is probably best known for early work with strong feminist themes.
