Vladka was born in Prague, Czech Republic. After high school she began her studies in art and has been a Graphic Artist for over 15 years.

 

In 1983, she emigrated to Germany. Two years later she was granted American political asylum and moved to Hollywood, California. From there, she attended a handful of Ceramic semesters at Santa Monica College.

 

In 2021, she moved to Sierra Vista, where she is a member of The Huachuca Art Association.

 

She is also currently continuing her studies of the art of ceramics with Virginia Thomson at Cochise College.

 

Vladka would like to express her gratitude to the art community here in Sierra Vista and I quote, "I feel very lucky to be always among so many talented beautiful people."
