About Wendy
Wendy completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the University of Alberta. After living over 25 years in Australia, where she studied jewellery making and silversmithing, she returned to Vancouver Island.
Wendy's artwork includes handmade, one of kind jewellery, wearable books, collage, and small objects and sculptures - inspired by and incorporating mementos, ephemera, relics, and artifacts. More recently she has begun to integrate needle felting into her mixed media sculpture, and wearable art.
She collects a wide range of discarded treasures: needlework, photographs, machinery parts, furniture hardware, books, stamps, jewellery, dinnerware, laboratory equipment, all manner of finely made old objects, and gives them context and importance in a new way.
Her art can be found in in private collations in Australia, South Africa, Italy, USA and Canada. You are invited to contact her to discuss commissioning artwork incorporating your own photos and keepsakes.
She enjoys facilitating art classes for children and adults. Contact her by email for more information.
You can also follow her art work on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/wduffield.art.5) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/wduffieldart/) .
Currently based in lower Vancouver Island, BC, Canada, she is living her best life.
