"​Alongside the challenges 2020 brought to the world, Wendy Leach found beauty and hope in painting the splendid pohutukawa trees along Mangawhai’s ocean beach. ​She found strength in the dramatic tree forms, energy in the swirling coastal skies and inspiration in the changing light."

Dynamic movement. "There is movement and there is movement. There are movements of small tension and movements of great tension and there is also a movement which our eyes cannot catch although it can be felt. In art this state is called dynamic movement. This special movement was utilised by the futurists as a new and hitherto unknown phenomenon in art..."

'SOURCE’ 2019, Oil paint on canvas, 1000 x 1000 mm. $2,850
The inspiration for this painting lies in imagery around elements of land and sea, coastal estuaries and tidal flow, deltas and rivers; constantly in flux, changing environments due to nature’s rhythms, tidal cycles and weather patterns. The painting 'SOURCE' is loosely influenced by a NASA satellite photograph of the Tasman Glacier area in the Southern Alps of Aotearoa New Zealand.

​An email from Israel
22 January 2021
Hi Wendy! my name is Michal, and i'm writing to you from Israel.
Im 24 yo and studying architecture and design. As part of my first year final project, i've been asked to make an interview with an artist that i choose.
after i traveld New Zealand two years ago it became one of my favorite places in the whole world and i knew i wanted to make the interview with a kiwi artist. so i found your website and in a second it brought me back to that time when i traveled and was so amazed by everything I saw.
I wanted to ask you if i could show your art work in front my class and my lecturer, and that i ask you a few questions about you and your art. 
If you're okay with doing the interview i would love to hear from you!
...thank you!  michal

Hi Wendy... Besides the questions I asked you, I've been asked to write my opinion about your art, what I learned from it and why I chose you as the artist I interviewed.
I wrote that in my opinion, your art is characterized with flow, colorfulness and movements. The way you use the paintbrush makes the nature in your landscapes look alive and like it's in constant movement, and that in your abstract paintings I loved that I could actually see the texture of the paint, and some of the layers above others, it gave them another dimension and depth in my eyes.
I wrote that I think your paintings are balanced, even though they contain contrasts, and are dynamic in terms of composition. And that it shows that the inspiration comes from nature.
I wrote that your paintings brought me back to my trip in NZ and all the good and beautiful memories I had came back to me.
I learned how great it is to have the ability to make people feel emotions by looking at your art.
Thank you for helping me with this project and honestly reminding me with your art how magical is the nature in New Zealand, I missed it so much! ☺
Michal .
