Wendy Wingfelder

Wendy graduated in 1986 with a Bacherlor of Fine Arts in Illustration and Painting from Syracuse University. Georgian Bay has always been an integral part of her spirit and family life, beginning with childhood summers spent at the cottage built by her parents.

Wendy feels most creative when painting from life, quietly observing and exploring how a place feels in the present moment. She finds inspiration in everyday life, as well as in the hidden bays, quiet waters, and drama of windswept Georgian Bay. Her love of the outdoors often leads her to plein-air painting, and she is interested in finding new ways of exploring the landscape and working with memory.

Wendy maintains studios in Barrie and Honey Harbour. Over her decades-long practice she has participated in numerous exhibitions as well as auctions for the MacLaren Art Centre and the Georgian Bay Land Trust.
