Wendy has always had an
interest in art and design but it was not until her youngest child
started school that she decided to return to her studies and complete a
degree in English, Art and Design at Marjon College, Exeter. Following
graduation she enjoyed teaching both painting and creative writing, but
has now embarked on a full-time career in art and is constantly asked to
exhibit work at exhibitions throughout England. In addition, Wendy has
produced commissions for a number of hotels and designed covers for
poetry anthologies.
Having lived near the sea for most of her life, Wendy delights in the
subtle changes of the ocean, specifically the light and space it
engenders. This everlasting subject has become her main source of
inspiration. She also draws on the works of artists such as Turner and
Monet, Rothko and Hodgkin for her evocative creations. She has
experimented extensively with various media, and is currently working in
pastels, finding their ‘translucent qualities’ and immediacy
particularly well-suited to her subject matter.
Wendy’s distinctive images have been described as clean, fresh and
atmospheric, but they are much more than this; each has an emotive,
almost mesmeric quality that is nothing if not enchanting. Her first
collection of stunning published works has received a resoundingly
enthusiastic response from galleries and the public alike and we all
look forward to the introduction of more imaginative pieces.
