Australian artist, Wendy Merrington, was born in Sydney, with this spectacular harbour city proving to be a constant source of inspiration to her. Wendy’s natural empathy with Sydney Harbour has helped her express its full spectrum of moods. From stunningly dramatic night scenes to the contrasting colours of day scenes, she captures its many lights and shades. Her vivid, decorative style is instantly recognisable with a love of colour and freedom of expression, communicating a feeling of tranquillity. Her subject matter extends to colourful still lifes striking figurative works and landscapes inspired by her extensive travels.

Graduating from Alexander Mackie C.A.E [now U.N.S.W. College of Fine Arts], with a Diploma of Art Education, and specialising in painting, drawing and printmaking. Wendy’s expertise in printmaking and painting has won her many awards and commissions, including Museums, Hotel Interiors and Private Collections. The traditional technique of Silkscreen Printing involves drawing and printing each colour separately, by hand, on archival paper to produce each artwork in each Limited Edition of Silkscreen prints. Wendy has exhibited widely, particularly in Australia and Japan, and her work enjoys increasing popularity both in Australia and Internationally.
