KATE WENDT--ARTIST
Hello
My work is influenced by organic forms in nature and my love for the expressive movement of Dance. I use color and texture, and the movement of the paint to enhance the visual and tactile surface of the paintings. Experimentation with the unique properties of the various paints, brush techniques, and surfaces allows me to further develop my paintings. Working in acrylic, watercolor, and mixed media, the paintings I create are a combination of abstraction and landscape.
