About

Wildago (Wilda Goyetche), a fisherman’s daughter born in 1966, grew up in rural Nova Scotia, Canada. She recalls an early drawing project at the age of 11 when she drew a cast of cartoon characters for a school bus safety film. Though Wilda continued to draw for many years since, she didn’t start using a paint brush before reaching her forties. She feels her work hasn’t changed much since the bus safety film, still favouring cartoon-style images with sparkling personalities and quirky characteristics.

Wilda spent most of her working life as a systems engineer in the financial industry. Her work took her to Bermuda where she met Steve, a British expat. They relocated to England in 2004 and now reside on the edge of the Peak District in South Yorkshire.

The characters of Wildago are conceived in Wilda’s lively imagination, influenced by family and friends. She hopes they will be enjoyed for their joie de vivre, elegance, and comical expressions.

Wilda often collaborates with another artist called Stuart Thompson. Together they are Wildago & Stu. Visit their web site:
