Wendy says,

I gravitate towards painting women, feeling a strong affinity with those who identify as female.
My aim is to capture authentic, relatable moments from everyday life—quiet, introspective scenes that reveal depth and vulnerability.
By using the name ‘Jane Doe,’ I add a layer of universality and anonymity, inviting viewers to connect with each subject on a personal level. I typically works from photographs that I have taken, using these as a foundation for creating the intimate, everyday portraits, that generally change from the original identity into someone else.
