Wendy Laverick

Wendy Laverick is a British contemporary artist known for atmospheric landscapes inspired by the Wye Valley and River Severn, alongside expressive animal portraits influenced by fashion, music and popular culture. Her work brings together two distinctive worlds: the quiet beauty and changing light of the British landscape, and the character, energy and storytelling of her acclaimed Icons of the Wild series.

Working across oil, acrylic and mixed media, Wendy creates paintings that celebrate atmosphere, character, storytelling and individuality. Through expressive brushwork, layered texture and distinctive storytelling, her work aims to evoke emotion, curiosity and a lasting connection with the viewer.
