Wendy J. Walworth is a portrait artist in the most classic sense. She is committed to representing not only the likeness, but also the characteristic uniqueness of her subjects. Wendy paints in a wide range of canvas sizes and makes extensive use of multiple sittings, to engage her sitter in a personal exchange that drives her brushwork in a broad, vigorous manner. She uses light and dark to dramatize her paintings, creating truly sculptural effects. Her work is direct and powerful allowing her to capture not only the hidden complexities of her subjects, but also the vividness of a physical presence with a memorable impact.
