Hello, I'm Wendy C.

Wendy Cohen was born in Cape Town​,​ South Africa but resides in Sydney​,​ Australia. She is a graduate of the National Art School​,​ achieving a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2015 and a Master of Fine Arts in 2017. Wendy's practice focuses on the relationship of shapes​,​ lines​,​ forms and colours with the relationship of natural and urban surroundings communicated in a painterly abstracted language. Her paintings are a visual syntax that entices the viewer to engage in the joy of her oeuvre as the pageantry of the visual field of hues​,​ shapes​,​ light and shadows create a playful freedom of expression. With a sense of curiosity​,​ exploration and discovery​,​ a lyrical gentre is created that results in spontaneous mark making as well as an exciting interplay between the shapes​,​ forms and colours imbued with the ebb and flow of textured sweeping brushstrokes and the alchemy of a variation of colours. Wendy interprets colours with the sounds of the soul as being the transcendental essence of music to give her paintings a whimsical expression that captures the beauty of creation as well as her cultural influences.
