Wendy Manzo is an artist residing in Sydney
Australia who works intuitively with perceptive abstraction, powerful vibrant colour and intriguing images.
Her work reflects the nature of creation, within which she unveils an adventure in luminosity, texture and intensity.
Wendy has an innate sense of design and balance, and art in one form or another is the driving passion in her life.
She approaches the canvas with the freedom that speaks of an artist of great integrity, confidence and dedication.
Her natural sensory ability has absorbed the influences of extensive travel, study and the artistic experiences of
her daily world, and this is captured in vividly rendered images, visually dense rhythms and harmonious fragility.
 Artist's Statement:
"Complete images come to my mind in quiet, introspective times, then through an active process of successive layering,
creating surface texture and spontaneous use of colour, I attempt to duplicate the depth and meaning of these images on the canvas.
There is a hidden thread and mystery in each painting for those with eyes to see. My aim is to impart a sense of purpose in the
relationship between the viewer and the creator."
EDUCATION
Wendy studied Graphic Arts at the University of Technology (UTS) in 1977;
Painting at Julian Ashton Art School in 1978; and Jewellery Design at TAFE in 1986.
In 1987 she attained the Diploma Award 'Fellow of Gemmological Assoc of Aust' (FGAA).
