Bio
As a child I checked out all the “How to Draw” books from my local library, copied all the cute birthday cards I received, and knitted while sitting on the monkey bars in primary school. I was always creating.
Even though my best subject at school was math, art college suited me better. So I completed a 2 year Foundation program and earned my degree in Graphic Design and Illustration.
Life distracted me for many years - marriage, 2 kids, volunteer work... Art became a hobby, waiting for the elusive "right time" to turn into a productive pursuit.
Fast forward to the present. An empty nest, a retired husband, and a passion for digital art. And birds - I’ve ALWAYS loved birds! I remember lying in bed as a child listening to the cuckoo. And every Spring a noisy nest full of house martin chicks would be raised next to my bedroom window. Over the years my dad gave me umpteen birdhouses that he made from scrap wood, and I watched many a bluebird make a nest. So when deciding what to draw, it's always my feathered friends!
A few years ago I decided to expand my drawing into something more, and Wendy's Bird Art was hatched. I am enjoying every moment, and am excited to see where this adventure takes me. Thank you for your interest - I hope my artwork brings some joy and positivity into your life, just as creating them does in mine.
My artwork is available online as high quality prints and digital downloads. You can find them on Etsy.
I also sell at local festivals, coffee shops, and art shows in the Rochester, NY area.
Thanks for stopping by,
