Visitors will be able to see Wendys original paintings alongside sketches of her work over the two years of lockdown.

Working in nature, Wendy conveys a sense of spontaneous energy in her drawings, capturing the character of the animals and people. She works mainly outside of her studio, in the countryside for which she has a passion, meeting new people, being inspired by the fresh air, animals, and nature. She is often seen in and around the Cotswolds in Gloucestershire, where she now lives with her family. For over fourty years she has been working to develop her current style, which is centered on capturing life in gesture. Wendy Thompson's work mainly involves pen and inks - sometimes lending itself to a splash of colour. When drawing animals, Wendy often meets people who enjoy watching her work, ask questions about art and decide to commission her new work: she allows them to look at nature from a different perspective, her very own.
