About the Instructor

Wendy Artin is an American painter who divides her time between Italy, France and America. She received an MFA in painting from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts of Boston, a BA from the University of Pennsylvania, and studied for two years at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Ms. Artin spent a great deal of time traveling and living abroad, both as a child and as a young adult, always drawing and painting in streets and museums. Her work is figurative and classical, and explores the timeless interaction of light with surfaces such as the human figure and Roman ruins. Wendy Artin’s watercolors are precise, loose, intense. “Watercolor is a living medium whose beauty lies in its incredible range, from the pigments flowing across a wet page to a scant brushstroke bumping along a slightly rough surface, letting the paper breathe.”
