Born and raised in Oshawa, Ontario, Wendy spent her summers in Muskoka at Lake Rosseau. As a child, she enjoyed Saturday art classes that were held in the boathouse with her grandmother, Alexandra Luke - one of members of the Painters Eleven.

Wendy received her education at The New School of Art in Toronto, the University of Toronto (Erindale Campus), and holds a Bachelor of Education from Nippissing University in North Bay.

Her love of art led her to Partridge Lane,  located a few kilometers outside of Bracebridge where, in 1998, she opened the Alexandra Luke Gallery that was named in honour of her grandmother.

Wendy paints with watercolour, acrylic and oil. Her subjects are mostly flowers and scenes of nature that shy away from realism into abstraction. She is also a photographer with a keen eye and good sense of composition. 

Wendy sees art as a total experience for the viewer and she welcomes you to join her at her gallery.
