Wendy Morosoff-Smith

Wendy Morosoff Smith was raised in prairie towns in Manitoba and Saskatchewan where she was greatly influenced by the landscape. She studied graphic design and worked as an award-winning designer throughout western Canada and the Yukon. After a trip to Florence, Italy in 1990 where she studied printmaking at the Santa Reparata studio, Wendy's career changed direction. Wendy now focuses on painting and printmaking, working out of her studio in Tsawwassen, south of Vancouver.

Wendy's work explores the tension between abstract and landscape tradition. Blending abstraction and landscape symbolism with the study of light and space, her pieces are as much meditations on place, time, the elements, memory and perception, as they are landscapes. Using the horizon line as her point of departure, she works intuitively, reacting to her surrounding environment and the perpetual threat of weather and its consequences

Wendy's work has been collected and exhibited throughout Canada, the USA, Europe and Asia.
