Collection: Wendy Lineham

Wendy Lineham is a full-time Artist based in Nelson. Lineham studied at Canterbury University’s 'Ilam School of Fine Arts', where she completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Printmaking.

Stylistically, Wendy’s work sits within 'The Picture Generation' where works tend to expose cultural stereotypes; with nods to Tonalism & Social Realism that are evident within her body of work. 

Wendy Lineham’s art practice involves the visual use of irony. Paintings are generated from cut-up magazines, books, & photographs. Images are collaged together then translated into oil paintings. Throughout Wendy's paintings, she explores 'ideals' about the development, structure, & functionality of human society. Lineham uses animals, symbols, & images of technology to convey common themes including power imbalance, ego, & the artist as a 'prophet'.

Wendy Lineham's work is held within private collections both nationally & internationally.

We are proud to support, Wendy Lineham!
