Born is South Africa, Wendy began her career in Textile Design before immigrating to Australia where she completed a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Textile Design at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) . Wendy went on to design for leading brands in the textile design industry in Australia, the U.K and South Africa.
After starting a family, she became involved in community work in Australia, and ran her own ceramics studio. She enjoyed working with local communities and designers promoting a communal sense of belonging through text and art imagery.
In 2019 Wendy was awarded a Global Excellence Scholarship to attend DJCAD, University of Dundee, Scotland, UK. She completed her MFAH Masters in Arts and Humanities, and was subsequently admitted to the DJCAD practice-based PhD program.
Her PhD, "Invisible Soaking: How Reality is Grounded not in what we Perceive, but in what we do not Perceive," focuses on Consciousness, Water and the Ambient Atmosphere. She explores the 'seen' and 'unseen' felt-senses through her artwork and writing.
Describing herself as an intuitive conceptual artist, Wendy allows her artwork and writing to find its own presence and form.
