She has also exhibited her work in shows in Sydney, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Rome, Venice, Florence, and Madrid.

Artist Statement

Wendy integrates shapes, lines, and colours, juxtaposed with collage elements, into cohesive compositions that transform into synchronized visual tapestries of contrasting hues.

She draws inspiration from natural and urban environments to communicate her oeuvre in a painterly, abstracted language that expresses not what is seen, but how she speaks in paint.

Working through an intuitive process of observation, exploration, and discovery, Wendy combines expressive brushwork, mark-making, layered forms, and collage elements to create richly textured compositions.

Colour plays a central role in her practice, generating rhythm, harmony, and a sense of movement that reflects her connection between visual art and music.
