Needless to say Wendy Warren’s pastels certainly fitted the bill. From the moment we saw them it was clear that that her pictures were something special.

Wendy’s paintings possess an intimacy and warmth that is so often missing in other wildlife art and her composition always seem fresh and original.

What also impressed us about Wendy Warren is how she has mastered one of the most challenging mediums, pastel. This is a difficult way to create pictures at the best of times so Wendy’s use of it is all the more admirable.
