Wendy is an instructor of Botanical Art and Illustration at the New York Botanical Garden and leads workshops in exotic locations such as Trinidad, Hawaii and many nature preserves, botanical gardens, arts centers and colleges around the country.

She graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1976 and began a career in botanical illustration after completing a certificate at the New York Botanical Garden in 1998. Previously a home-furnishing textile designer, she started using her botanical artwork in various products.  In 2009 she moved from Manhattan to a farm in the Hudson Valley so she could live among the plants she documents in her work.

Dina Falconi and Wendy Hollender started collaborating on Foraging and Feasting in the spring of 2009.  Together they created Botanical Arts Press, LLC to handle all aspects of publishing Foraging & Feasting and its related products after launching a highly successful campaign to raise funds to publish the book on Kickstarter in March of 2013. They were able to pre-sell close to 3000 copies prior to the books publication in July 2013!
