Trained in Graphics and Fine art, Wendy's interests developed in a three dimensional direction when at the Ontario College of Art with her studies in weaving and 3D Tapestry. She soon discovered the joys of creating figures in polyclay, paperclay, gourds and soft sculpture. She has won many awards and several nominations for the "Dolls" magazine, Diamond Awards of Excellence. Her fantasy figures often evolve from found objects. These open up avenues of fantasy to travel in her discovery of a new sculpture.

She has taught dollmaking at ;
The Enchanted Doll Artists conference in Albuquerque 2010
2009 FAC conference
2009 Gourdfest
2007 CDAA conference
2006 & 08 Creativ Festival
