About Wendy Franklin

The term joy surrounds Wendy Franklin and her mixed media creations. Her persona is reflected in each piece of artwork that she creates. There is joy in how she freely places colors and the organization of her composition. The colors fade in and out of one another, she achieving tremendous tonal depth. On a stretched canvas, Franklin paints a textural design. She hand-dyes silk and wraps it over the canvas. More embellishments are added and the piece is sealed.
