“The memories I bring home on canvas relive the joy and wonder I see as I explore the world.”

            A career in art was far from her mind when Wanda graduated from college with a degree in business. However, her creative side has triumphed through a long and happy collaboration with Kevin Macpherson, partner and renowned painter. Wanda has studied at the Scottsdale Artists’ School with some of the country’s best artists and years of side-by-side instruction with Kevin have given her an artistic foundation to explore her own path. She has developed a delicate impressionistic technique and sensitive color harmonies through the keen observation techniques known to ‘en plein air’.

Wanda works in oils, painting on location throughout the United States and Europe. She is a member of the American Impressionist Society winning the ‘Oil Painting’ award in 2000. Additionally, her paintings and technique were selected to be included in the book, “Painting With Water Soluble Oils”, currently available through Northlight Publishing. Wanda has been invited to participate in shows such as the Plein Air Arizona – Arizona Desert Museum, American Impressionists Society, From Colorado Springs to Taos: Springs Invites Taos Best, Montgomery Museum of Art and Best and the Brightest, Scottsdale Artist’s School. Her paintings have been featured in Taos Magazine, U. S. Art, and Southwest Art. 

A few years ago Wanda was inspired in creating hand crafted jewelry of all sorts of medium. Although this path has taken her off from painting a bit her creative juices keep flowing and enjoys the sculptural textures in creating her jewelry pieces.

Wanda and her husband, Kevin Macpherson, have collaborated as mentors with Artist’s Tour Group the last few years bringing students to France, Iceland, Norway, Spain and Belgium sharing the artistic experience.

            Wanda is certainly bitten with ‘wanderlust’ and can be seen painting en plein air almost anywhere in the world with husband Kevin.
