Welcome to Wendy Art

I consider myself a perpetual dance student, continuously exploring ways to better translate to students ways to move with profound interconnectedness of body awareness, physicality, breath & rhythmic alignment with music.

Art has always come easy to me & I was often the one picked to design, draw or paint any and every project for friends, family, business & in school. Since my life reset in 2020, I have been able to focus more on my art career & hone in on creating Art it Up.

• My earliest memories were of creating art around age 4 with my mother & Sister.
• Over the decades I have studied, honed & perfected my craft.
• My favorite materials to work with are acrylic paints, color pencils, watercolor pencils, graphite pencils and mixed media.
• I've created and sold a multitude of artistic works including murals, signs, illustrations, portraits, paintings, famous painting replicas, dance props, backgrounds for stage, upcycled furniture & clothing items.
• My passion towards creating art has lead me to a life enabling artistic growth and inspiring others.
• I love to give them the confidence to be artistically free & find their own creative expression.
• Established Art it Up Mobil Paint Parties in September of 2023

As an extroverted people person, it has always been easy to connected with others of every background & age. It has always been a priority to leave others happier because they were around me.

• Children & animals friend me all over the world & have been told I am like a pied piper of children
• Keeper of 1000 secrets that I've been told over the years because of the ease & lack of judgement others feel while talking with me.
• The art of listening was taught to me young & how to clear my mind while others are talking instead of waiting to respond with my own words.
• I help others come to conclusions about navigating big life changes & decisions.
• Since childhood I have harnessed the power of laughter & saw how humor can diffuse most situations.
• My "superpowers" include tapping into people's artistic potential & inspiring them to reach their goals.
• I love to share my knowledge & encouragement so others can live their best thriving life.
