Wendy, when did you discover your creativity? “When I was a small child, my creativity burst out with dance lessons, choir, and drawing pictures in my writing assignments. Girl Scouts challenged me, so I stuck with it throughout high school, eventually receiving the ‘God and Country Award.’ Finally, though, I was happy being a stay-at-home-mom.” Raising kids requires lots of creativity. True … I did lead the kids’ 4-H group. I also worked parttime as a nurse after getting my RN license. While you were still a stay-at-home mom? “Yes … but it was only after my kids left home that I really followed my artistic dreams. With my husband’s encouragement (he passed away after 49 wonderful years) I got a ‘three-pronged’ BA degree—in metal, fiber, and wood. So, what are your artistic mediums? “Let’s see … fused glass, macrame, picture quilting, watercolors, ceramics, wood … oh, and fiber.”
Here Wendy shows us a few of her Bright Ideas—in watercolor, ceramics, wood, and picture quilting. See why I say she’s a whirlwind?
Creative barely describes her talent.
She never stopped creating in one form or another. What a dynamic woman!
And she’s still going full steam–all with that smile!
Wow! Gifted and talented
And so energetic!
