Wendy is self-taught and began painting (and learning) about 8 years ago after leaving a busy career and soon became particularly fascinated by the fluidity and spontaneity of watercolour.

Born and raised in Zimbabwe and having lived and travelled across the globe, her subject matter is diverse, from African wildlife to English street scenes, and everything in between. She has a growing international footprint, with a collector base in UK, Australia, South Africa and USA. A fair proportion of her work is commissioned in watercolour, acrylics or oils.

She works in her studio in the countryside and exhibits at local shows through the year.

After years of inspiring an art group with her knowledge and infectious enthusiasm, Wendy is now stepping back from teaching to prioritise her personal creative practice.

Wolfango Chiappella

I’m a British-Italian artist, based in Buckinghamshire but originally from the rolling hills of Piedmont, Italy. I paint mostly in oils, working from memory, sketches, and those quiet moments when a place stops you mid-step.

My work tends to orbit around landscapes — not the grand postcard kind, but the everyday corners where light, sky, and earth have a quiet conversation. I’m drawn to the shifts in weather, the worn paths, the way a tree can lean into a field like it's got a story to tell.

I’m not much for big statements. I paint what I notice, and sometimes what I miss. Sometimes I’m chasing a real memory, sometimes it’s the feeling of one.

Each painting is a small attempt to hold onto something fleeting — a sky clearing after rain, the gold haze of a summer field, the hush just before dusk. If you find a bit of yourself in any of them, then the painting’s done its job.
