Wendy's love for the outdoors inspires landscapes in which she tries to capture the color and light of nature as she sees it. While her subjects are always simple, she uses color, brushstrokes and layering to create interest and complexity. Ultimately, it is the use of color that becomes the subject. She draws inspiration from classic impressionists, but it is her own sense of composition that gives her paintings the soulfulness to which she aspires.

A native of Maryland, Wendy graduated with a BA from Duke and an MBA from Wake Forest's Babcock School. Her formal art studies include training under nationally-acclaimed artist Andy Braitman. In 2007, she was recognized as an Art with Heart Emerging Artist in North Carolina.

Wendy works out of her home studio in Charlotte, NC, where she lives with her husband, ESPN basketball commentator Jay Bilas, and two children, Tori and Anthony. She is forever grateful for the unwavering support, love and color they bring into her life.
