Artist bio
Originally from New Jersey, Wendy Gruber studied fine arts at Boston University, sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design (BFA '73), and design at New York’s School of Visual Arts. She spent many years in Colorado before moving to beautiful Marin County, California where she found inspiration, good weather and her love of landscapes. Ms. Gruber’s work is in private and corporate collections throughout the United States. Process: I underpaint my pastels with acrylic washes. They enable me to block in my composition and contours fluidly and quickly. Afterwards, I layer in pastel, teasing out an exchange between the opaque bold strokes of the pastel and the translucent washes. The juxtaposition sets up a dynamic vibration of strokes emerging out of the background in a way that I find both compelling and exciting.
