Wendy Westlake

Wendy Westlake approaches painting with a sense of adventure; each canvas is an opportunity to explore relationships through shape and color. Originally from Washington state, Wendy earned her Associate degree in Applied Art from Pima College in Tucson, Arizona, where she studied oils, ceramics and printmaking.

By 1992, Wendy was in Minnesota where she became heavily involved with the Twin Cities watercolor community. In 2012, she became a board member of the Minnesota Watercolor society, eventually becoming President from 2014-2016. Wendy soon craved working on a larger scale than paper would allow, leading her back to her earlier training with oils and acrylics.

Working out of her studio in Zumbrota, Minnesota, Wendy is continuously influenced by her background in watercolor. She is also inspired by the American Abstract Expressionists, particularly the color fields of Mark Rothko and collages of Conrad Marca-Relli.

Wendy attracts attention for her modern style, often infusing mid-century influences, as well as her accomplished palettes and intuitive forms, resulting in a unique and splendid pictorial harmony displayed throughout her balanced compositions.
