Wendy Tate

info@wendytate.com | www.wendytate.com

I grew up in Cleveland and studied both my B.A and M.A in Fine Art at Hull University, Scarborough Campus. I now live and work in Scarborough.

My paintings are mainly based around the figure particularly the nude, and I am concerned with evoking memories and feelings that are like discovering a secret which when found remains untranslatable yet touches a note that we share; an evocation that may be interpreted differently by each viewer yet resounds a unifying note. I have an eclectic taste in art history and take much of my inspiration from Byzantine icons, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Dodd Proctor, Hopper and Michael Leonard.

I am available for commissions.
