MY PASSION:
To inspire Childlike Faith through
the art of illustration.
I am a graphic designer, artist by nature, blogger, & a children's book author & illustrator whose passion has always been centered around my art and young children. I worked in childcare for nearly 30 years and even though my artwork had taken a back seat to my carrier as a childcare provider, I never stopped drawing.
I tend to be a bit on the quiet side, especially in a large crowd. However, I am a firm believer in good communication - first & foremost with my heavenly Father, my family, as well as my clients. I am also one of those moms who is all for "No Phone at the dinner table." I love my family dearly and cherish the fact that we all still come together at the end of the day and enjoy good-ole-fashion conversations face to face.
Wendy grew up in a broken home, was bullied by her peers, and was ruled by the fear of the opinion of others. As a result she closed herself up in her room and taught herself how to draw. It was the one place she had control over; her safe place. As the years went by her family began going to church and little by little she started to open up as she learned about the love of God and forgiveness. She had finally found a place, outside of home, where she felt loved and accepted.
At 16 her aunt gave her a collection of integrity music, which was basically scripture put to music. Through her faith in God, a constant feed of those positive lyrics and reading her bible her self-esteem began to grow. Over time she learned how to let go of the past and forgive those that had hurt her. She learned the value that words hold, how they affect your self-worth, and how they can impact the world around you.
She pursued her passion for children as a childcare provider for many years then began transitioning into the world of Graphic design in 2011. In 2015 God gave her the idea for her first children’s book. The heart of her stories, though simple and sweet, ring out a strong and powerful faith based message. If you raise a child to believe in the power of their words while they are young, they will grow up with a positive outlook on life; nothing shall be impossible for them and they will have a bright and successful future.
