About The Artist
Wendy Meg Siegel

I am a mixed media artist who loves to paint. I grew up in New York and now live in CA with my wonderful husband and daughter. For a number of years, I have enjoyed incorporating my photos into my paintings, utilizing multiple canvas layers, and further developing canvases with the use of papers and other textural elements. Now I am playing with music in art as I develop the new series.

........................................

Born in 1955 in Brooklyn, New York, I began drawing at the age of three after I was given a box of crayons instead of the piano lessons I had requested. My high school art program provided me with lots of opportunities for developing a personal style and artistic vision. While attending Hofstra University, I was exposed to an even wider variety of materials and processes.

During my years as a corporate trainer in the 1980's, photography became my primary creative outlet. It was at that time that I developed an attraction for photographing weathered windows, walls, and other architectural elements.

In 1989 I left corporate life and entered the full time world of creative exploration and discovery. I was in artistic bliss. After experimenting with cutting canvas, I began using multiple canvas surfaces to create paintings that became multi-dimensional experiences.

And it was in the late 1990's, after becoming a Mom, that I began to integrate my photographs within the canvases. Now I am focused on incorporating music into my artwork. Since music has always been a part of my creative process and an important part of my life, I’ve decided to make it a focal point of my artwork for now and in the future.
