Wendy Moore

Wendy Moore is an experienced artist, a long term student of Lilly Lee Art Gallery, exhibiting regularly at Art West Gallery, Coonan St, Indooroopilly. She has been commissioned to produce artworks and has also sold her works in the Art West Gallery. Though Wendy studied art at high school she only rediscovered her creative side around 2014 when she signed up, initially for a drawing class, at Lilly Lee Art Gallery then located at Sherwood. She went on to discover pastels and acrylic mediums, also dabbling in watercolour, oils and mixed media. She has a passion for lifelong learning and loves trying out new ways of expressing herself.

Wendy recently entered The BVAC art competition themed “Open to Interpretation”. Her entry was a modern twist on Vincent Van Gogh’s “Café Terrace at Night (Terrasse de Café la Nuit)” 1888. She wanted to combine Van Gogh’s famous painting with the imagery of the iconic 1896 Le Chat Noir poster created by Swiss-born French Art Nouveau artist Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen.

She hopes to enter the Brisbane Portrait Prize, this time with a self portrait, something that she has never attempted, called “Resilience”. It will be a modern representation of the health challenges she has experienced over a five year period, including breast cancer, cornea transplants and open heart surgery. Her catch phrase is “If it doesn’t kill you, it makes you stronger”.
