ABSTRACT ARTWORK
Welcome to my site!
My work is Abstract Expressionist.
I paint not what I see of the visible world, but how I feel it to be. It is not a literal description of a place, but a feeling of a place and how one is effected by that environment.
My inspiration comes from the Landscape, Skyscape, Seascape, music that I listen to Classical, blues soul, jazz or colours that I see in every day life. I like to work on a large scale when possible, as this gives me more freedom of movement and allows me to be experimental.
Artists that inspire me are Willem de Kooning for the fluidity of the paint and the power of the brushstrokes, Mark Rothko whose colours enfold you in a vast smothering embrace and Rembrandt for his deep understanding of how to paint flesh, especially knees!
I work presently at home in the West Midlands and paint full time. Previously exhibiting work at the Knapp Gallery Regents College, Regents Park, London N.W.1. My work was critiqued while on show at the Knapp Gallery by Professor Dr Maurice Cockrill RA of the Royal Academy, and I am honoured to say he 'admired my work'

Dear Wendy,
Just a quick email to introduce myself and present an opportunity which you may be interested in. I have recently started working for View Art Gallery in Bristol and am in charge of managing our gallery spaces outside of the main one on Hotwells Road. I was looking at some of your work the other day and thought it was amazing.
Hi Wendy
I really like your work, I was wanting to ask you about the techniques you use. I am just starting out in oils and was wondering how you get the effects you do in your work.
Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Joe.
Upon review of your online portfolio, I would like to extend an invitation for you to submit art for inclusion in Volume VI of “International Contemporary Masters”, a leading juried annual art publication presenting noteworthy artists from all over the world.
