WOODY'S FEATURED ARTISTS
Wendy was born and raised in Aurora, Illinois, the youngest of five girls. She has been a resident of Carmel, Indiana for the past 15 years. Possessing a passion for photography at an early age, she evolved through the years to become the "official family photographer." Since that time, she has taken many photography classes and workshops throughout the United States to pursue the many areas of photography which interest her. She has attended: The Disney Institute, The Rocky Mountain School of Photography, The George Lepp Institute of Digital Imaging, Joseph Van Os Photo Safaris & The Great American Photo Workshops. She has also taken photography classes at IUPUI and is an active member of the Riviera Camera Club in Indianapolis. Wendy's award winning photographs have been published at the local, state, national, and international level. One of her images had the honor of hanging in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. Three additional images are currently featured on nationally distributed greeting cards. Wendy creates images from the heart, coaxing her viewers to see the world around them in a refreshing and different way.

Lake Superior is my muse.
It is a beautiful palate of water, sky and forest. I have lived in a number of places in the United States, but the scenes
from the Great Lakes region continue to be the main focus of my creativity and the inspiration of my artwork.
I grew
up in Duluth, Minnesota and am a graduate of the University of Minnesota, Duluth. I have worked in the graphics
arts field and am by and large a self-taught artist. I have studied under the master
watercolor painter Cheng Khee Chee and nature photographers Nadine and Craig Blacklock
through the University of Minnesota continuing education workshops. My mentor for oils
is Magdalena Hoyos-Segovia, an internationally acclaimed artist.
Presently I reside in Carmel,
Indiana and I work from a home studio. The backdrop is a pond frequented by a wide variety of wild
waterfowl surrounded by the large sky vista of the prairie. My family`s cabin on Eagle Lake near Iron River, Wisconsin provides me with another view of the northern landscape.

I have always been fascinated by the world around me. There are so many beautiful things going on and every so often I feel the need to step back so I can take it all in. It's during those times that I get the crazy idea to document that beauty in my own way, through paint and clay. I have loved creating art since I was a little girl.
