About
Wendy Long the artist......
Wendy Long the land & seascape artist, but for a long time , this is almost a hidden secret. Wendy has been a musician- a jazz/latin salsa pianist & percussionist. What others did not know is that she has a hidden strength beyond her stage performances: her ability to paint & draw, her sensitivity in colour & visual art.
To Wendy herself, both vocations intermingled through her life. She started playing music on the piano at the age of 5 & started holding her first palette knife to slap on the oil canvas at the age of 9. Her formal education included both aspects :Art design degree in London Hornsey College of Art & Guildhall School for music . She has worked in design dept. for the BBC TV, Thames TV & Madame Tussauds Wax Museum alongside being a performing jazz pianist in her formative years.
Wendy loves painting landscape & Seascape. Her paintings are with joy, with passion, with vibrant colours & an eye for nature's light & form. Her subjects are of places that speak to her & make her happy. She travels a lot to the Mediterranean countries where she took lots of photos with the bright sunlight & turquoise sea. She took inspiration from these photos & translate them onto her works. Here she would like to share with you her gallery & hope you would enjoy the visual journey......
