Her work has a powerful cinematic blend of the dramatic and the gentle. It is indeed a gentle look, full of wonder, tolerance and passion that Wylda brings to these regions and people.
Talking about the many trips she has made on television and film assignments, the artist says:
“I have photographed on every continent except Antarctica. I focused on Asia because there are many tribes there in remote places. I admire human genius and discover cultures that live off the grid while maintaining their cultural identity, instructive examples of how we all evolve. “
