Wendy Arnold was born in New Zealand and grew up in Perth where she started her fine arts studies in painting and printmaking. As a teenager she was encouraged by her late father to pursue her love of fine art. “He is my genetic link to the arts, the most creative man I’ve ever known” said Wendy. In the 1980’s after a few years of extensive travel, Wendy together with 2 partners launched the highly successful fashion label Studiobaker Hawk in the UK. Her embedded passion and foundation of the fine arts drew Wendy Arnold to settle in Sydney in the mid 90’s where she has been painting full time ever since. “I can knit, I can sew, and I’m dangerously good with a hammer, but it is the practice of painting that has allowed myself to be me… the me I wanted to be since I was a very small girl” says Wendy. “I feel so lucky to be an artist. To have the time to smell the roses, to watch and wait, and catch beauty out in the most surprising circumstances” Wendy continually pushes the boundaries of her techniques, using gold leaf, lace, print, French papers, methods of sanding, re-working and other decorative skills. Asian imagery laced with historical reference is a consistently strong element in her work, interweaving birds, flowers and rich patterning with the female form. “I have named this special edition of paintings for JahRoc Galleries “Allure” because all the figures are beguiling, mostly hidden. Many reveal the nape of their necks, which by Japanese terms is the most sensual part of a women’s body. I have enjoyed my little collection… and hope you do too” ![Wendy Arnold Studio Shot Main](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/ 01/wendy-arnold-studio-shot-main.jpg) ## Exhibition Hanging and Opening Night --- * ![Wendy Arnold Opening Night Photos 4](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2018/12/wendy-arnold-opening-night-photos-4-1024x678.jpg) * ![Wendy Arnold Opening Night Photos 3](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2018/12/wendy-arnold-opening-night-photos-3-1024x678.jpg) * ![Wendy Arnold Opening Night Photos 2](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2018/12/wendy-arnold-opening-night-photos-2-1024x678.jpg) * ![Wendy Arnold Opening Night 2 1 Of 1](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2018/12/wendy-arnold-opening-night-2-1-of-1-1024x678.jpg) * ![Wendy Arnold Allure Hanging Dec 18 Web Size](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/ uploads/2018/12/wendy-arnold-allure-hanging-dec-18-web-size-1024x537.jpg) * ![Wendy Arnold Hanging Dec 18](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/ 12/wendy-arnold-hanging-dec-18-1024x678.jpg) ## Exhibition Artworks Gallery --- ![Wendy Arnold Cover Me With Flowers And I Will Dance For You Painting](https:// www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/wendy-arnold-cover-me-with-flowers- and-i-will-dance-for-you-painting.jpg) Cover Me With Flowers And I Will Dance For You 140cm x 186cmmixed media on canvasSOLD ![Wendy Arnold The Red Dragon Tattoo](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2018/12/wendy-arnold-the-red-dragon-tattoo.jpg) The Red Dragon Tattoo 100cm x 150cmmixed media on canvasSOLD ![Wendy Arnold Embrace Painting](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/ 12/wendy-arnold-embrace-painting.jpg) Embrace 121.5cm x 121.5cmmixed media on canvasSOLD ![Wendy Arnold Magnolia Dreams Painting](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2018/12/wendy-arnold-magnolia-dreams-painting.jpg) Magnolia Dream 104.5cm x 170cmmixed media on canvasSOLD ![Wendy Arnold Exotica Painting](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/ 12/wendy-arnold-exotica-painting.jpg) Exotica 100cm x 140cmmixed media on canvasSOLD ![Wendy Arnold Allure Painting](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/ 12/wendy-arnold-allure-painting.jpg) Allure 140cm x 186cmmixed media on canvasSOLD ![Wendy Arnold Field Of Poppies Painting](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2018/12/wendy-arnold-field-of-poppies-painting.jpg) Field of Poppies 71.5cm x 85cm acrylic on boardSOLD ![Wendy Arnold Tangled Painting](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/ 12/wendy-arnold-tabgled-painting.jpg) Tangled 71.5cm x 85cmacrylic on boardSOLD ![Wendy Arnold Hummingbird Painting](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ 2018/12/wendy-arnold-hummingbird-painting.jpg) Hummingbird 71.5cm x 85cmacrylic on boardSOLD ![](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Wendy-Arnold-Red-Dragon- Tattoo-Painting.jpg) Red Dragon Tattoo 112cm x 152cmmixed media on canvasSOLD [Wendy Arnold – Up Close & Personal](https://www.jahroc.com.au/wendy-arnold-artist-up-close-personal)
