Wendy is a native of Gastonia, NC, where she began horseback riding and fox hunting at the age of eight. She developed her love for art and animals very early while growing up in an artistic family with an older sister as a riding instructor.

Wendy graduated with a bachelor of arts degree in ceramics, and jewelry fabrication. After several years away from horses and art, she renewed her passion for both and married a professional fox hunter. Shortly after that she began to paint from the inspiration of their horses, fox hounds and many Jack Russell terriers, "Somehow, I needed to express my love for these animals...it just came out in the form of painting."

She and her husband live in the heart of a quail plantation near Boston, GA. Surrounded by miles of woods and a huge assortment of wildlife, she is blessed with a never ending source of subjects.

Wendy's animal portraits and wildlife paintings are done in watercolor, acrylics and pencil. Other mediums are used to to create ceramic tiles, dinnerware, signs, painted furniture, and murals.

Her work is shown each year at the Plantation Wildlife Arts Fair, in nearby Thomasville, GA. This juried exhibition showcases the wildlife art of over forty artists from around the world. Wendy's works are also featured in the "Wild Wings", "Eximious of London", and "Stafford's" catalogs. She is also profiled in the "Wildlife Art" Magazine.
