Born in Czechoslovakia and raised in post-war Austria, Vera
settled permanently in Australia in 1970. In 1978 her husband
bought her an oil-paint set whilst they were living in Tasmania
and she then embarked on a painting career, falling in love with
the naïve art style.
She
has exhibited throughout Australia, in Europe, Canada and America
as well as providing illustrations for children’s books.
Her
works have been included in a number of publications worldwide
including the “World Encyclopaedia of Naïve Art”
For
the past four years she has divided her time between Victoria and
the Capricorn Coast before moving permanently to Kinka Beach in
2006.
Her
painting style is very detailed, often amusing and has been
described as “fine art naïve style”.
