Throughout my 35 year career as a graphic designer I have constantly indulged my yearning for drawing and painting and at the end of 2019, the decision was made to spend more time in my painting studio than in front of my computer working on graphics projects.
I am in the process of re-working my website - which for years has remained neglected whist I juggled being a freelance graphic designer, an art tutor and putting what time I had left into my own practice.
So, in the meantime, this small gallery gives you an insight into my portraiture work. The new website will also show drawings and some of my experimentation with landscape painting.... most of which can be seen on my personal Instagram page www.instagram.com/wendybarrattart.
If you'd like to contact me, please find details at the footer of this page or on the contacts page.
Watch this space for further developments on my new website!
