Making Mountains

Pattern is like eye candy. It keeps you busy, both as you make it, and as you view it. Our tendency is to try to find sameness, so when there's an element of randomness to what we see we are captivated and interested. In reality, landscapes, while they may look "samey" most of the time, have many hidden secrets to reveal to those who take the time to look. From an artists' point of view, it is enjoyable make the patterns and then find the subject and shapes they have hidden within.

Hi, thank you for viewing Wendy's art and visiting her profile.

Wendy's studio is in Hobart at the base of kunanyi/Mount Wellington. Landscape is Wendy's main inspiration for creating abstract and semi abstract paintings. She has been creating art for over thirty years.

Many people seem to have lost touch with the significant roles art and the landscape can play in our lives. Wendy hopes her art can, in some way, act as a reminder while also visually sharing her joy in creating each piece. The mixed media process she uses embraces chance and randomness, a metaphor for the unpredictable influences around us. Paintings begin with play and experimentation. As they progress Wendy uses her intuition and experience to refine and resolve them.

It's a wonderful process of experimenting, learning, adapting and sharing.
