Wendy was born and raised in Coquitlam and now resides in New Westminster, B.C. She played drums in a band, and paints between shows. Her aim is to express her appreciation of nature and wildlife through her paintings and photography. She is inspired by observing nature and likes to paint what she knows and has seen, then tries to re-create it in a painting. There is lots to create and explore at her home on the West Coast of British Columbia.www.wendyschmidt.ca
