Wendy is a Canadian artist who has lived, worked, and played in Niagara Region for over 40 years. She is a self-taught artist who worked as a memorial designer at a family-owned monument business where she created many artistic customized monuments for dignitaries and local families. She delights in the summer months when she can escape to the outdoors to paint “plein air” with friends to capture the beauty of Niagara Region. In many of her paintings, she explores new techniques and pushes herself to paint scenes that build her artistic skills. Her artworks try to capture the simple things in life that many of us just pass by, like a wildflower field, or an old rusty shack that is silhouetted in evening warm sun.

ARTIST STATEMENT
In the vibrant realm where colors dance and emotions take shape, I find solace and inspiration. Art is not just a creative outlet for me; it is the very essence that nourishes my soul. With each brushstroke, I embark on a journey of self-expression, translating the intricate symphony of my emotions onto canvas. The medium of oils (and sometimes acrylics) become the vessel, allowing me to weave stories of nature, emotion, and introspection. I am drawn to landscapes, captivated by the ever-changing tapestry of the world around me. Art, for me, is a visceral need—an irresistible call to convey the depths of my soul. The process of painting becomes a form of meditation, a conversation between the canvas and my innermost thoughts. Each stroke is deliberate, carrying the weight of my experiences, dreams, and aspirations.
My landscapes strive to capture not only the external beauty of nature but also the internal landscapes of the human spirit. The interplay of hues and textures reflects the complexity of emotions, from the serene tranquility of a sunset-lit horizon to the turbulent energy of a stormy sky. As I explore the infinite possibilities of painting, I invite you to join me on this visual journey.
