About Wendy Wetherbee
Nature Inspires Me
I have been studying nature since early childhood. The world outside my windows is the world that runs through my blood. Skipping across bubbling streams, smelling the air after a rain, catching toads in the garden and watching butterflies in the meadow are memories that have shaped who I am.
I strive to bring my unique view of the natural world to others through my artwork.
I work as a metalsmith and a painter primarily. But my first love is photography, so most of my work is based on my photos either for reference or inspiration.
My jewelry is handcrafted and hand-fabricated with my two hands using Sterling Silver, 18k Gold and occasionally Copper. When I use stones, know that they have been chosen carefully, by hand, selected for their unique characteristics. Sometimes I work with lapidary artists to cut stones specific to my designs. I tend to use a wide variety of semi-precious stones, but do occasionally add some sparkle with diamonds and other precious stones.
I am a proud full juried member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, and other associations.
In addition to photography and metalsmithing, I occasionally work in acrylic, watercolor graphite pencil, and mixed media.
My photography has been published in print media including National Wildlife Federation Magazine (Oct 2018) One of my proudest accomplishments, as I have been a member and avid reader of their publications since early childhood.
I also have a 25+ year career as a visual designer, running Wetherbee Creative, a boutique creative services and web development studio, where I help other business owners, artists, nonprofits and corporations with their marketing and promotion using design as a tool for communication.
My work can be found in galleries and private collections.
