Location: #14 on map, 172 William St., Victoria Harbour 590 High St. Orillia, Ontario, Canada L3V 6Y7 705 325-3548 wendyrinehart@rogers.com Trained as a Graphic and Fine artist, 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 sculpting figures in polyclay, paperclay, cloth and most recently gourds. Creating fantasy and portrait dolls, she has won many awards and several nominations for the "Dolls' magazine, 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.
