Wendy Kemper was born and raised in Ontario and moved to Vancouver in 2004 after living in New Zealand for 2 years. She studied occupational therapy at McMaster University. Along with taking various art workshops in Ontario in the past 10 years, she is working towards a fine art certificate from Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design. Wendy s artistic influences have come from her travels through Canada, Europe, Africa, Australia and New Zealand. She mainly works in acrylics, water colours and oils, to create paintings with bold brush strokes, bright colours and movement. She is particularly inspired by the patterns and colours found in nature. Wendy started a business called Art Ability where she conducted art groups in hospitals, adapting art for people with disabilities and facilitating creativity. She believes that everyone has the ability to be creative and encourages others to find and develop their own artistic style. Please see images of my work in the Gallery.

My personal mission is to: Inspire others to be creative      Challenge myself to think outside of the box             Accept & treasure others for who they are                   Nuture my spirit and stay true to myself
