WENDY MCBRIDE

Wendy has always lived in the West Country which she believes has made her a romantic at heart. Land and seashore are her protagonists. The high and wild places where weather seems to mimic mood, where shapes and colours vibrate one with another. She says that she uses pastels for their immediacy, also their ability to forgive her impatience in transposing her feelings and thoughts to paper. Her inspiration is Turner, Monet and Morisot, Degas and Rothko, Eardley and Hodgkin. Her favourite places for committing to paper include Dartmoor, the river Dart and Tresco, in the Scilly Isles. Her distinctive images have been described as clean, fresh and atmospheric, but they are much more than this; each has an almost mesmeric quality that is nothing if not enchanting.
