It starts with coffee.
The medium isn't a metaphor. Wendy paints with brewed coffee, building each image with washes, shadows, and variations in its warm natural tones.
01 / THE MEDIUMA familiar ingredient.
A familiar ingredient.
An unfamiliar canvas.
Working in a range of coffee concentrations, Wendy builds depth from the palest transparent wash to rich dark passages. The result is recognizably hers: earthy, warm, detailed, and always a little unexpected.
Her subjects move freely between Newfoundland landscapes, animals, intimate moments and imaginative compositions. The coffee is a thread connecting them all.
