Wendy Orville

Wendy Orville’s monotypes explore the beauty and emotional complexity of the Pacific Northwest landscape and beyond. Her spare monotypes internalize and recreate an experience of the landscape that captures a sense of space, movement and drama.

Before coming to the Northwest, Orville earned a BA in Fine Arts from Yale University and an MFA in Painting from American University. Leaving the East Coast for Taos, New Mexico, she discovered an openness of horizon and sky that has inspired her work ever since. In Taos, Orville was introduced to monotype and fell in love with the medium, experiencing a newfound freedom of expression and creative possibility.
