Wendy Anderson My love of nature provides the greatest inspiration for my art. Whatever the medium I choose to work in, my relationship with nature can be strongly felt. The goal for me in creating is to immerse myself in the process, drawing on a creative spirit that emerges when I visualize the natural world. It may be the contrast of light, the vibrancy of color, or the intrigue of a pattern that draws me to a subject. My goal is for the viewer to sense my joy and see the world through my eyes. I have been a Watercolor artist for 30 years. Other mediums that I enjoy working in include oil painting, acrylic, fused glass and ceramics. Volunteering at local schools and the West Bend Museum of Art provided me opportunities to teach art to children and adults early in my career. I was a high school art instructor for eight years, and over the last 20 years, I have taught art workshops at Moraine Park Technical College, West Bend Museum of Art and Cedarburg Cultural Center. I have a Bachelors of Art in Art Education from the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee and studied painting at Santa Reparata International School of Art, Florence, Italy. I have studied with watercolor artist Joseph Fetingus, ceramics artist John Pritchard and for many years with friend and mentor Daniel Gerhartz. ~ There is great meaning in life for those who are willing to journey. ~ Jim England
