After 15 years as a graphic artist, Wendy switched to event photography for the face to face interraction with her clients. She has spent the last few years on a creative slide, weaving her personal writing and photography into a fuller narrative of self, with unvarnished honesty, emotion, and humor. Her first book, Thank You for Ruining My Birthday, takes this further,contrasting grief and pleasure after the sudden of of her marriage, in a visual, racy, tactile, and messy story. Wendy also likes saying, “whatever,” “cool,” and “like,” all the time. From California, as one might imagine, but spends most of her time between Tucson, AZ, and NYC.
