A little about Wendy:
Wendy is a London-based practicing artist with over 25 years experience, having worked in child and adult education until 2012.
She studied Medway College of Art and Design, as well as Christ Church College and Sir John Cass School of Art. A qualified designer, enameller, silversmith as well as working in acrylics and watercolours. Her work has been exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum and Goldsmith's Hall. She undertakes private commissions having sold work internationally. She has a large mural still on display, that was produced for Arts Olympiad in 2012.
The diversity in the work stems from her early days as an illustrator. However there is a continued sense of life and change in the artwork. Ideas for the work are based on nature and the environment around her; colour line and fluid forms are integral to the work especially painting and working in precious metal.
Wendy has been working on a variety of her own personal projects and private commissions.

Well day one is over and the Wanstead Fringe and The Wanstead Art Trail is well under way. It's been fantastic, at our Gallery, 'eightyfour', we have had a great day of craft workshops plus a photography walk. I took the picture above at an open air screening of the Lego movie, part The Fringe programme, in the grounds of Christ Church, it was a full house with 200 tickets sold. In the afternoon I went along to Wanstead tube station where members of the Art Trail were hard at work. There was a fantastic peace dove made from willow, the work of artist Anna Bisset having the final touches in the form of feathers added to it. There is lots going on at the station art wise so do take a look on your way to work this the week.
Both photo walks so far have been a great success, I'm looking forward to the one next Saturday.
