Wendy James has been creating and selling her unusual artwork for over 7 years in local shows
and galleries. Her artworks of assemblage and collage are cleverly created with real everyday
recycled objects. Familiar and often antique items are taken out of their usual context and
combined with her artistic eye. You'll find these pieces whimsical, strange, humorous,
nostalgic and surprising. Her love of antiquity and her ongoing fascination with the
bizarre melded naturally into her unique artistic style. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation.
"Assemblage and collage have always been really good for me because it's unpredictable - never
redundant. Each one is a new experience and that’s pretty much how I like my life, too.
When I look at the finished art, it is a wonderful reminder for me that even mundane,
everyday stuff can be exciting and unexpected. Then I get to enjoy watching other people's
reaction to it. Maybe it reminds them too that life is not always what we think it’s going
to be. So people are often just a bit puzzled - it tilts your brain a little. If it
makes you laugh, all the better. Either way I think it's very good for our hearts."
