Wiz Wensel is an Edmonton-based, contemporary, visual artist working in mixed media. As a young artist, Wiz drew wonderful inspiration from the Formalist, Color field and Abstract expressionist movements that were predominant in the art scene at the time. This early influence, meshed with her passion for textiles, modern design and exotic travel, is the impetus behind much of her creativity. Wiz’s choice of a non-representational format provides the freedom to explore and experiment as she desires.
Her courageous, uninhibited use of bold, joyful color intertwined with a playful, often energetic handling of materials is a direct expression of her soul’s essence and vitality.
