In 1980, Wendy attended Instituto Allende in San Miguel, Mexico. There, she was introduced to the art of batik. The almost backward way of creating a design intrigued Wendy so much that batik has been her main creative outlet ever since.

Wendy has traveled extensively throughout the Caribbean, as well as Central and South America exibiting her work along the way. Her batiks often reflect the people and places she has enjoyed throughout her travels

After settling down in Saint Augustine, Florida, Wendy enjoyed a number of years as a member of the Butterfield Garage Gallery. On July 17, 2005, the doors of her own gallery swung open for the first time.
