ABOUT - Wendy Bermingham

Wendy Bermingham grew up in the small town of Aurora Ontario. Graduating from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 1985 with a major in Communication and Design, Wendy won the prestigious Southham Scholarship for Excellence and fulfilled her childhood dream of becoming an artist. Moving to Toronto, Wendy enjoyed working as a freelance assembly artist for a short time but later developed a successful career as a graphic designer at MCG Graphics, a close knit, in-house studio of Ogilvy and Mather Advertising. She worked with major accounts such as Canadian Pacific and Minera Mines. Years later, after spending time getting back to her roots in nature, she discovered that fine art was her true calling. Primarily self-taught, Wendy now paints full time in her studio or outside painting plein air and has never looked back. Wendy has traveled throughout Ontario, Europe and USA to paint, but it is the Canadian landscape where her true passion lies. Painting  exclusively in oil, Wendy uses both brush and palette knife, utilizing their unique marks to create the texture, and movement found in her colourful paintings. Wendy considers her artistic evolution as an ever-changing and unending journey.

Wendy is an elected member of the Ontario Society of Artists and the Society of Canadian Artists and a member of the East Central Ontario Art Association. Her work can be found in  private collections throughout Canada and the United States.
