Hello, my name is Wendy and I am a local Wimborne based Pastel Pencil Artist creating beautiful artwork of wildlife and pets, I began drawing again during lockdown, rediscovering a talent I'd left behind since my Art "O"Level days.
Like many I was looking for something meaningful to do to occupy those long days and weeks. I realised how much happiness it bought me so I started to do commissions for friends and family and it has just
grown from there.
Art runs in my blood, both my Nan and my Great Grandmother were artists, mostly in their later years as a hobby. My Nan was an avid member of many art groups and did extremely well in competitions and was always exhibiting her work.
After losing my mum suddenly last year, I realised how important it is to follow your heart and do what makes you the happiest you can be. My passion for animals led me to draw them and I enjoy taking on commissions and attending local craft fairs or events to showcase my work.
I'd love to create something special for you to give you that forever memory of your beloved pet or favourite animal capturing their true essence and soul.
My plans eventually include setting workshops to teach people the beautiful medium of pastel pencils. I believe all of us have some creativity inside us, I want to help people to find it, nurture it and bring out those
hidden skills and talents so that they can find something to truly enjoy as a hobby in their spare time and to help relax stressed minds.
