Wendy Allegree

One of Wendy’s earliest memories was sitting at a huge antique oak desk at her grandma’s house drawing pictures every day.  Her entire family encouraged creativity and they were all touched in one way or another with artistic talent.  Growing up most of Wendy’s wardrobe was handmade, the art on the walls were all family masterpieces, and even a bulk of their home was constructed by her father.  Once she became an adult this mentality followed and everywhere she looked she saw an opportunity to create.  A few years ago Wendy became a single mother of an amazing little girl, Zoë.  This change in her life made her examine what was important and in an effort to provide Zoë with the same wonderful values she had as a child she quit her job and used her self-taught artistic abilities to begin a career as an artist selling online, at craft fairs, in galleries and in boutiques.  She is inspired by the whimsical things in life and often by the fantastical creatures that live in the realm Zoë reigns over as princess.  One of their favorite things to do together is to visit the Zoo or aquarium, which is quite evident by Wendy’s work.  Currently Wendy resides in Cincinnati, OH but she is always looking for the next great adventure and where it may take her.
