Meet Wendy



​​Today, the large, resplendent flowers I paint are a reflection of life's vibrancy, joy, and boundless possibilities. Nature, after all, doesn't produce just one pink flower – it produces millions. I draw inspiration from the Scottish hillsides during my walks, capturing the essence of this diversity in my artwork.

​Additionally, I've developed a deep affection for creating charcoal drawings of animals. This passion took root after the passing of my beloved Labrador, Ginty, who stood faithfully by my side, radiating love and joy even during my darkest hours. She was a daily reminder of love and light. Over time, my drawings expanded to encompass a wide range of animals and diverse interests, making my creative journey a diverse and ever-evolving exploration of artistic expression.

On my creative journey, I wear many hats. I'm a seasoned writer and multi-international best-selling author of seven books, with a passion for women's health coaching on a global scale as well as educating children through illustrated stories. But that's not where my creativity ends – it's just the beginning.

Some might call me a ' Creative Enthusiast ' because I'm always knee-deep in various artistic and inventive projects. From refurbishing and breathing new life into neglected worn down properties, to crafting elegant interior designs, to penning books (including drawing illustrations for my children's books), writing poetry,  writing prose, hosting interviews for my podcasts, and even designing and creating more online program to add to the 23 online educational courses that have already been created and transformed lives. 

Lately, I've ventured into the world of comedy scriptwriting and writing a play for the stage, adding yet another layer to my creative tapestry. And, of course, I find solace, peace and joy in painting and drawing.

I can trace my artistic roots back to my earliest school days, where I painted a secret garden scene. It bloomed with an explosion of vibrant, colourful flowers. That moment was when I knew I was exactly where I was supposed to be, doing precisely what I was meant to do. My dedication earned me an A grade in my higher education in the Arts.

However, societal pressures and expectations led me down a different, non-artistic corporate path, ultimately taking a tragic toll on my health. It wasn't until I faced near-total organ failure and grappled with eight major medical conditions that I reevaluated my life's direction and my deeply held beliefs.

As I embarked on the road to recovery, and with each medical condition pushed into remission, my love for creativity and art rekindled with newfound clarity. What began as modest pencil sketches soon transformed into grand oil-painted canvases adorned with thick, vibrant layers of paint.

Apple Blossom

Original Oil On Canvas Painting

"There are a profusion of apple blossoms that adorn some tree-lined pathways within The Meadows Park of Edinburgh. Just for a few weeks many foreigners come to see this most splendid sight to behold, every year during April to May. This painting is of a photograph that I took capturing a moment in my life when I was on the cusp of embarking on a new journey, seeking personal growth and transformation. The image resonated with me, as a symbol of the 'blossoming of new possibilities'.

Over eleven months, I put layer upon layer of oil paints on the canvas, to create the deep shadows and depth of the painting. "

Blooming Meadow

Original Oil On Canvas Painting

"The Blooming Meadow is a picturesque expanse of wildflowers nestled at the foot of the Pentland Hills, located on the periphery of Edinburgh, Scotland. This photograph captures a moment in time, taken after a period of prolonged illness, during which I rediscovered the joys of immersing myself in nature and savouring the changing seasons. Spring, in particular, holds a special place in my heart, as it heralds the vibrant emergence of colourful blossoms and the promise of new beginnings."

Over ten months layer upon layer of thick palleted oil paints were lovingly etched onto the canvas to create the textures, deep shadows and depth of the painting. "
