Wendy Davis is a Pacific Northwest contemporary oil painter based in Vancouver, Washington. She has been an artist all her life, attending Western Washington University for fine art, and then The Art Institute of Seattle for Graphic Design and Fashion Illustration. She spent 35 years as a graphic designer, and transitioned to oil painting eight years ago.
 

Wendy is drawn to figurative work, as well as bold depictions of landscapes, painted both in studio and also plein air. She does not limit her subject matter, and paints animals and urban landscapes. Wendy is drawn to loose landscapes and plein air opportunities, painting in direct method, using larger brushes for the majority of the painting. For Wendy, the design and planning of a piece is almost as fun as the actual painting. Wendy is known to cut, finish and prime her panel substrates, as well as manufacture hand-crafted wood float frames for consistent gallery presentations. She shows her work locally and also participates in area
art festivals.
 

Wendy is a member of Society of Washington Artists, and Northwest Oil Painters’ Guild (NOPG). She also serves as webmaster for NOPG.
