River's Bend, 2026 Watercolour and gouache on paper. 46 x 36 inches Framed. 40 x 30 inches unframed. $5000
Detail- This painting is a compacted composition of the bend in the Muskoka River just south of the Brunel Locks and Goodwin Park in Huntsville.

The moment remained with me as an image of presence, innocence, and the fleeting nature of experience. My work explores how landscape nourishes us, holding memories, shaping belonging, and sustaining our connection to place.

In this composition Wendy has incorporated the back view of Springvale/Webster Mansion 1797 with the Palm House Greenhouse. During Wendy's residency at Parkwood Estate she was inspired by a story from the people that keep Parkwood vibrant. She brings this idea of remembering by the gathering of their stories wanting to reflect their sense of belonging is interconnected with her personal sense of belonging. This painting is about one story in particular that was shared, when it snows the greenhouse is like a snow globe. Greenhouses were the way the first families were able to cultivate vegetables being able to live off the land. Wendy grew up with a large backyard greenhouse built by her grandfather. Wendy imagines her grandfather running through the backdoor of Springvale just like the McLaughlin girls playing in the Greenhouses emulating her sense of belonging and connection because she grew up in her grandfather's old house on Elmgrove , Oshawa. This artwork speaks to the history of Oshawa remembering the legacy of families like the McLaughlin family that nurtured the art community, uniting the people of Oshawa as well as supporting their well being through social gatherings and economic stability.
