About the Artist
Katie Vida explores personal and spiritual questioning through the lush environments depicted in her paintings. Within her work, landscape, anthropomorphic forms, and mythologized figures play a role in the construction of narrative.
Both whimsical and menacing, the tone of Vida's work is accentuated by vibrant color and simplified form. Influenced by primitive compositional motifs, as well as the subject matter of paint itself, she takes non-linear approaches in her studio practice by working on many pieces simultaneously. Some pieces take months to complete, others are more immediate. Vida lives and works in San Francisco.
