Wendy Leach was born in Auckland, New Zealand. She graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Auckland and went on to train and qualify as a high school teacher. The early days of her career were spent teaching art to high school students, and she rose to the top of her profession, becoming an assessor and examiner for national art examinations. Wendy then accepted a tertiary position teaching students at the ASA School of Art in Auckland. At the same time she taught workshops in drawing, oil painting, mixed-media painting and experimental techniques. During the same time, Wendy was also developing her career as a painter. Since 1988, she has had 14 solo exhibitions and has participated in about 30 group shows. She works with both oil paint and mixed-media techniques. Her landscape paintings are highly sought after, and many of her works are held in public, corporate and private collections in New Zealand and many countries throughout the world. Although Wendy paints extensively within New Zealand, she also travels overseas to paint. Since 1993, Wendy has travelled to Europe each year, first to the south of France and later to Tuscany and Umbria in Italy. Wendy has reproduced a collection of her paintings as limited edition giclee prints.
