WENDY ROUSE
FINE ART
ARTIST STATEMENT
Still life, landscape, and the figure combine in Wendy Rouse’s paintings to present magic realism tempered by a hint of humor. Her detailed renderings incorporate mirrored reflections and the flora and fauna of northern Minnesota’s boreal forest. The illusion of space, volume, and light, as employed by the Old Masters of the Renaissance, lays an inspired foundation for her work.
Rouse earned a BFA from UMD and a MFA in Painting from the New York Academy of Art. She has received several artist residencies and Arrowhead Regional Arts grants.
Over the years, Rouse has enjoyed teaching art through the Duluth Community Schools, Duluth Art Institute, College of St. Scholastica, and many private lessons. Wendy Rouse is currently represented by Lizzards Fine Art in Duluth, MN.
