About the 2009 Featured Artist: Wendy Scheirer
As a watercolorist, Chester County resident Wendy Scheirer exhibits a love of color, drawing, and the fluid quality of the medium in her paintings. With a BFA in Graphic Design, Wendy began her professional career working as the Holiday Line Planner for American Greetings Corporation in Cleveland, Ohio, where she advanced to art director before she left to raise her family.
Since 1981, she has enjoyed teaching students of all levels in classes at many local art centers including Darlington Fine Arts Center, Community Art Center, and both Chester County Art Association and Wayne Art Center, where she currently teaches. She also teaches at Immaculata and West Chester Universities.
Scheirer has exhibited widely, winning awards in the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, the Philadelphia Water Color Society, and many juried watercolor exhibitions. She has achieved signature status in the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, Baltimore Watercolor Society, and the Philadelphia Water Color Society, for which she serves on the board.
In the act of painting, Wendy discovers the joy of seeing light and color and strives to express that with fluid abandon, controlled by carefully observed drawing. She hopes to share her joy in painting with viewers who bring their own observations and vision to the work.
