Wendy Sherwood

Originally from Birmingham, Wendy Sherwood is a professional artist in Watford. Having recently graduated with a Certificate in Contemporary Portraiture from The Art Academy, London, Wendy is developing a portfolio of portraits for a solo exhibition in autumn 2026. Wendy is very keen to be part of a local art community and develop a network of portrait artists willing to sit for each other to develop skills in painting from life.

Wendy Sherwood has a passion for portraiture, and has used mixed media, print and oil paints.

Currently Wendy is creating a portfolio of portraits of people of Watford, representing individuals and groups as they wish to express themselves now, alongside their narratives of how they came to be in Watford.

The theme is shadows - in, out, from the shadows or being the shadow - open to individuals' interpretations and how it relates to the individual. Wendy is open to being approached by anyone interested in being part of this project or nominating someone for the project.
