hi, i am vidya!

early september 2026 notes ✧˚ ༘ ⋆｡ ˚

i have had a great time at various events this year (dallas art book fair, bay area book festival, santa rosa zine fest, comix gauntlet, and san francisco zine fest) and am now spending time on the following:

• recently finished 3 new zines including my first comic: the wave jar
• obsessively painting my first series of oil on canvas works (!) for my open studio show in october!!! i generously lucked into a pile of canvas stretchers and am trying to make the most of it! stretching my own canvases has been enlightening!
• reading again! absorbing many inspiring books from the library + those picked up at various events!

bio + cv

VIDYA GIRI is an artist, designer, and engineer from Houston, TX, living in San Francisco, CA. Her art is reflective of her background: balanced between cultures, environments, and disciplines. Her work has spanned between online spaces, printed media, projection, and painting on physical and digital canvases. Her (current) explorations revolve around collecting from one's surroundings as a form of reflection and the parallels between natural and human-made identities and the environments they encompass.
