Wendy Schultheiss
Born and reared in St. Joseph, Michigan, Wendy
Schultheiss returned home after twenty years of living in
New York and major European cities, including London,
Munich, Frankfort, and Dublin. One of her passions has
been visiting and studying at major museums
throughout Europe and the United States.. the Louvre in
Paris, the Leopold in Vienna, the Pinakothek Der Modeme
in Munich and The Galleria Lorcan O'Neill Roma in Rome
as well as the Art institute in Chicago and the
Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern
Art in New York.
While she took courses in various mediums, she
was drawn to more abstract themes that
presented a quietly reflective, meditative
perspective. Her black and white pieces have a
strong African-Asian feel and move the viewer
inward, creating insights into the personal journey
toward meaning. Recently, her newer and larger
acrylic abstracts reveal her ability to create
movement on the canvas that both expands the
viewer's outlook and, simultaneously, focuses on
the detail in the moment. Her work is a meditation.
