BACKGROUND
Wendy Ramsay studied fine art and graphic design in Canada, Sweden, Denmark and France and used her skills and talents with leading advertising agencies and magazines.
In 1981, Wendy founded her own graphic design studio, winning numerous awards for her work.
Additionally, she designed, made and successfully marketed porcelain jewelry.
In 1992, Wendy returned full-time to her real love - fine art. Strength of form and energy, simply conveyed, are vital elelments of Wendy’s impressionistic, gestural sculpture of the human figure.
She now draws upon her life’s experience and upon her love of purity of form contained in the essence of the human figure to produce works that capture her inimitable signature of tangible energy and emotion in her sculptural abstractions of the human figure.
