Ottawa artist Wendy Quirt was keenly interested in nature from a young age, and spent much of her time sketching and painting wildlife. After obtaining a degree at Carleton University and working in the high-tech industry, she felt a powerful pull to follow her childhood dream of being a wildlife artist. She traded in her high-tech career and committed herself to wildlife art in 2007.

Dedicated to nature, and committed to preserving wildlife and their habitats, her work has, and continues to help raise funds for a variety of conservation organizations. She is a member of Artists for Conservation.

Wendy hopes to share the beauty and value of nature through her art and discussions of the natural world.
