About the Artist

Wendy and her watercolors...

Wendy Kornfield is an award winning watercolor artist who lives in Miami, Florida. She exhibits regularly in juried exhibitions locally and nationally. Growing up in New York, she painted, drew and did needlework. She has always looked for ways to express feelings and messages visually. She graduated from Rhode Island School of Design in 1980, and previously worked as a graphic designer in London, New York and Miami. 

In her watercolor works, Wendy loves the vibrancy of transparent watercolor. She also enjoys the unexpected surprises that occur when applying and mixing paint. Her works tell stories and try to describe life’s everyday emotions and experiences. Her camera and her sketchbook are an essential part of Wendy’s creative process. After she has photographed and sketched an image that speaks to her, she often does a series on small painted studies where color, line and composition break her message down to a purer form.

Wendy is a Signature member of the Miami Watercolor and Florida Watercolor Societies. She’s been featured in the American Watercolor Society Online show, International Water-media exhibit, Arts Council of Martin County, Fairchild Tropical Gardens, and most recently at an exhibition at the Wirtz Gallery in South Miami.
