Artist Bio.....Vida has been a professional artist/printmaker for 40 years.
Early in her career her favoured mediums were screen printing
and etching. However, in the last 25 years she has concentrated
almost exclusively on linocuts. She has a very distinctive style
with her brightly coloured strongly designed works – mostly hand coloured.
Upon joining the Wildlife Art Society of Australasia (now
defunct) many years ago her images naturally took a turn in
that direction. This enabled her to combine a love of
birdwatching, photography and travel with her art practice. She
spends approx. 2 months each year on various field trips within
Australia and overseas collecting material for new images. This
has involved many trips to outback Australia and inspirational
places such as Antarctica, Madagascar, Asia, Iceland and most
frequently to southern Africa. She finds observing all types of
wildlife exhilarating – even those she observes daily on her 5-
acre bush block. She hopes that by creating beautiful images of
the natural world she may cause people to reflect on how amazing our planet is.
Her work can be found in galleries throughout Australia. She
has won over 150 prizes in art competitions and exhibits
regularly in group and solo shows.
She has been selected for the internationally judged “Birds in
Art” exhibition in the US in 2014, 2021, 2022 and 2024 as well
as being voted “Wildlife Artist of the Year” by the Wildlife
Art Society of Australasia in both 2014 and 2015. She is
featured in “Inspiration Wild: An Artistic Celebration of Nature and
Environment” published by the Wildlife Art Museum of Australia
Foundation and “Feather and Brush – 3 centuries of Australian
Bird Art” by Penny Olsen – A CSIRO Publication - her work was
also featured in the 2017 Australia Geographic Art Calendar.
