about wendy froshay

As a young artist, Wendy Froshay’s burgeoning artistic prowess flourished under the direct tutelage of such renowned art mentors as Timothy Clark, Carl Purcell, Kathy Sutherland, Mona McGuire, the late Diane Pratt, and Renaissance Master Frank Covino.

A second-generation artist from the Intermountain West, her successful art career was first launched through book illustration, with her illustrations published in over 35 books.

Prior to taking her artistic talents to Southern California, Froshay served as Publicity Director and Membership Director of The Intermountain Society of Artists. She has been invited to serve as a jurist at various distinguished exhibits in Utah and California. Froshay’s works have also been honored with numerous awards in illustration, acrylic, oil, watercolor and mixed media competitions.

Art by Froshay continues to be published and distributed throughout the world and her pieces grace a number of private collections on three separate continents.

For over 30 years, Froshay’s artistry has continued to mature gracefully to the delight of her loyal audiences and ever-growing list of collectors. Art collectors and aficionados have said, "Froshay’s mastery of color and movement resonates with an emotional depth that captivates the viewer, seamlessly transporting us from the physical world to the ethereal.”

Froshay’s passion and remarkable artistic skills have inspired many others to also delve into the wonderful world of art through intimate group and individualized instruction offered directly in her private studio and fine art centers throughout Southern California.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I believe it is what we feel within the depths of our heart and soul, and not necessarily what is seen through our eyes, which enables one to see the splendor that exists all around us.

The entire universe can be experienced in drop of water, a cloud, a flower, a spatter of paint… and I am filled with a profound sense of oneness with the world and all that is, when I observe this. This powerful connection takes me to astoundingly beautiful places, compelling me to recreate them into physical form for others to experience.

I wish to connect the viewer to their own source, striking an emotional chord through stirring imagery that transforms canvas into color and shape, morphs into figure and then melts back into color, to become one again with the canvas.

I love creating movement and energy by experimenting with different surfaces and textures, exploring the richness of color relationships, to set free an unexpected revelation residing deep within me and yearning to be discovered in my paintings.
