Stop by and meet Wendy and enjoy refreshments at an artist’s reception from 2:00-4:00 PM on Saturday, September 14th!

Wendy Moore grew up in the San Francisco Bay area in a home filled with art and music. Her passion for drawing was nurtured as soon as she could hold a pencil and brush. She spent playtimes exploring the garden and surrounding Oakland hills, and every evening experienced the joy of watching the sky as the sun set over the Pacific behind Mt. Tamalpais across the bay. The glow of late afternoon is still her favorite time to paint. Her luminous paintings often focus on marshes, seascapes, cloudscapes, landscapes and still lifes.

“I paint what sparks a thrill of discovery within me– and I try to record on canvas the visceral response that made me want to paint this in the first place! The thrill, quiet rush, or joy itself– rather than an idea or emotional message. I find these encounters with more than meets the eye painting in the present, from life, the naturally lit landscape, still life or portrait.”
