About Wendy
Wendy's exquisite art has been called wonderfully charming, intriguing, unique, and enigmatic.
​
Her art is best experienced in person and each piece invites the viewer to ponder, to wonder, to discover, and to reminisce. Her mixed media artwork incorporates layers of fabric, paper and ephemera, allowing further patterns and images to emerge the more carefully you look. She uses old needlework, photos, books & stamps, furniture hardware to dinnerware. All manner of old treasures might be incorporated into new artwork
You'll find wearable books, sculpture, and collage, rich with images and ephemera to transport you to another time and place.
