ARTIST STATEMENT
Invisibility.
Blurry lines, hard lines, lines lost and found again.
Invisibility and others = Walking down the street and people try to walk through you or bump
into you because you are invisible.
Invisibility and faces = the ones we let others see, the ones we don’t let others see, and even the
one we don’t let ourselves see.
Invisibility and beauty = inner beauty, outer beauty, the eyes and hearts and minds of the
beholder, if they see.
Invisibility and disabilities = When you feel so ill, and people see you and say “you look good”
because you have glowing pink butterfly cheeks.
Striving to be visible = for others to see me, to see myself.
Can you see me? What do you see?
Can I see me? What do I see?
This series focuses on:
Invisible disability of brain fog, mental health, putting your best face on to interact with people
who can’t see you are functioning with a disability and maybe don’t even see you at all.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Wendy Peer always loved music and art (and still does!). She was finally able to realize her
dream in her last year of college and studied drawing and painting with Ted Kenzie and
watercolor with Robin Eschner. She has also studied clay sculpture with Nora Sarkissian and
botanical illustration with Sondra Cohalen. More recently, she studied with Louise Fletcher in
Find Your Joy and Find Your Voice, and most recently with David Limrite and Jordan Blaquera
in the Create Anyway Collective (CAC). She has exhibited her work at the WMG, the CAC, the
Kent Island Federation of Art, and Kent Island Creators Klub.
Wendy’s work is centered in emotions: she holds the emotions in her body & spirit to convey
them in expressive marks. She works principally in a series to fully explore the series’ concept in
any media that speaks to her. Her intention is to make a connection with others and bring healing
to them through her art.
