A fan's account of her trip to see Viggo return to his alma mater, St. Lawrence University, to open an exhibition and read poetry. This was back in February. Warning - it's quite long.

Mortensen is a painter, and photographer. His paintings are frequently abstract, and often contain fragments of his poetry in them. His paintings have been featured in galleries worldwide, and several appeared in A Perfect Murder.

When it comes to talent, Mortensen is a jack of all arts, if you will. His first interest was writing and he still writes poetry in his spare time. He's an accomplished horseman, a noted painter and photographer, and even a jazz musician. Oh yeah, he's ... an actor -- you just might have caught him in that multi-Oscar winning LOTR thing everyone's been talking about.
