Wendy identifies strongly with the abstract expressionist movement, which views the act of painting as a way to connect with the subconscious. Painting allows the artist to express pure emotions and to process them in a healthy way. Wendy uses painting to embrace the present, and also share a part of herself that she wouldn't otherwise be able to express. She has persevered through hardship in her childhood by holding onto deep feelings of hope. Her art expresses that same optimism, color, and emotion. She wants her art to make people feel good, and to remind them that no matter how hard life gets, there is always beauty in life.
Wendy's Background
Wendy was born in the quiet suburbs of Wisconsin, where painting was always a part of her life. When she was 7, she lost both of her parents, and worked hard to navigate a difficult childhood full of neglect and abuse.
She has always been fascinated by science and eventually attended MIT, where she recieved her degree in mechanical engineering. After college, she rediscovered her love of art and began to use painting and poetry as much needed forms of self expression. Her art encompasses themes of survival, 'breaking free' and the power of positivity. Her art tends to be bright and playful, an emotional exercise of freedom in itself.
