Born in South Africa, Wendy began her career in Textile Design before immigrating to Australia, where she completed a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Textile Design at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). Wendy went on to design for leading brands in the textile design industry in Australia, the U.K., and South Africa.
After starting a family, she became involved in local community work in Australia. She enjoyed working with communities and designers, promoting a communal sense of belonging through text and art imagery.
In 2019 Wendy was awarded a Global Excellence Scholarship to attend DJCAD, University of Dundee, Scotland, UK. She completed her MFAH Masters in Arts and Humanities and was subsequently admitted to the DJCAD practice-based PhD program.
Her PhD speculatively re-imagines consciousness, atmosphere, and aqueous phenomena coalescing in patterns of ineffable homogeneity.
Invisible Soak re-imagines how consciousness metaphorically 'unfolds' into the atmosphere via the permeable sensory interface on the sensory body, evoking phenomenological noesis. Describing herself as an intuitive conceptual artist, Wendy allows her artwork and writing to figuratively unearth itself between visible and invisible paradigms of immersive flow.
