The artist.............Wendy Jennings

WHERE CAN YOU FIND MY WORK:
At Victor Harbor Regional Gallery, Railway Tce Victor Harbor 
The Regional Gallery can be opened upon special request to Wendy.


 Wendy took up painting in 1980 when living in  a remote National Park in South Australia , where she spent a lot of hours on her own taking in the nature around her and attempting to film it all in this newly gazetted Conservation Park..  She is a self taught artist. She has continued her love of nature with over 30 years living in or near National Parks in 2 states.  She  has specialized in Australian wildlife, especially putting conservation messages in her work..
She is a popular art teacher especially for beginners.
Wendy regularly talks to groups about living in the outback and how her art career began. She also talks on cruise ships about Australian animals and the life of a wildlife artist. She  teaches watercolours for all comers on cruise ships including Viking Line, Royal Carribean and Celebrity Cruises. All talks have  powerpoint presentations.
. Ask her about the range of talks and lessons.
If you have an idea for a painting, or an image you would like incorporated into an artwork, please contact Wendy. She delights in doing commissions.
