Vida has been a professional artist/printmaker for over 30
years. Early in her career her favoured mediums were screen
printing and etching. However in the last 15 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 many years

ago her images naturally took a turn in that direction. This

enables her to combine a love of bird-watching, photography
and travel with her work. 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 and 2021 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 her work was featured in the 2017 Australia
Geographic Art Calendar.
