Wendy always had a great love of the natural world and the animals that inhabit it, which she so skilfully expresses through her art. Her best work has been created through direct observation, showing her interest in painting and sketching from life, form the basic backbones of the art. This exhibition is the culmination of several year’s work created from sketches and observation of the natural world.

Following her sketching trip to Yellowstone, she’s decided to paint the American plains Bison as the centre point of her recent work. The heartbreaking destruction by man of this majestic creature, and then a turnaround which prevented their near extinction, from a little more than 1000 animals to the thriving populations today, is inspirational. She says: “This gives me joy in my work, in a world where environmental problems are so prevalent.”

Danny’s sculptures in the exhibition compliments her work beautifully, also reflecting the environmental concerns which are affecting the many species which share the earth with us.  

We hope you find inspiration in this celebration of how man CAN reverse their destructive actions on the environment.
