Attention to the things we pass by.

Wendy Ballentyne

What we dig

With impossible clarity, Wendy paints the feathers, pebbles and bamboo we might otherwise walk past. We love that she gives everyday subjects full attention and invites us to notice and see much more alongside her.

About Wendy.

Wendy’s life has taken her from India to Canada and the Philippines. She spent much of it in Manila, working with her husband to help raise the children of missionaries. Back in Calgary, she has made more room for painting. Largely self-taught, she brings a lifetime of looking closely to her paintings.

I find myself drawn to 'hidden treasures,' the overlooked beauties of creation, the pictures that tell a story, the amazing details of everyday life. —Wendy Ballentyne
