Wendi Leigh holds a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the University of Wollongong and has entered and won art/photographic competitions over many years. Her art diversifies as it it crosses between reality and abstraction and uses shapes and colours to describe movement, light, shade and illusion. She finds this creative tool a means for interpreting contemporary experiences which will become part of life's history.​​

Her work is an exploration of perception, identity, and memory. Wendi’s subject matter holds underlying stories of hope and joy in a time where anxiety and disillusion of worldwide issues hold many people in negative frameworks. Painted in soothing, or sometimes vivid colours in acryl-gouache, the work brings a certain peace to the viewer, which in turn renews a sense of well-being and happiness. Her love and environmental concern for native and domestic animals and birds and Australian flora are frequently referenced.
