Artist Biography
Contemporary artworks using the O.D.O.R.I. style of technique (overt distortion of real imagery) Wendi Leigh's art diversifies as it grows organically, crossing between reality and abstraction and finding paths that lead to express a compelling story of today’s history.
Coming from a combined fashion and art background, Wendi pursued a career in the fashion industry as designer and pattern maker in Sydney and Berlin over many years, and since 1990, turned her artistic talents to exhibiting art collections in Sydney, Newcastle and the Mid North Coast.
Throughout this colourful time in her life, Wendi has entered and won art/photographic competitions, but still finds wonderment in sharing her diversity with others in workshop activities.
