During high school his art teachers saw the potential he contained and pushed him to develop in many mediums.

He was trained in glass fusing and was funded by the State of Washington to make two public wall sculptures in glass. He also won a grant to study at the Pilchuk Glass School for two weeks where Dale Chihuly mentored him. Vidana received another grant for a weekend intensive at the Clay Art Center in Tacoma, Washington to study sculpture. Although adept in many mediums, his true passion is painting.
