Wendy Chidester says the following about her contemporary still life paintings: “I love looking for old, worn objects to inspire me to paint. Things that have been replaced and forgotten make great subject matter for my paintings. These objects become the focal point of much of my artwork. I try to bring new life to old objects and evoke memories of days past in each painting. I enjoy making the painting surface as rich and as interesting as the objects themselves, giving each painting a feeling of age, depth, and beauty.”
Wendy Chidester is represented by Coda Gallery in Palm Desert,, and Park City.
