WENDY
HOUSTON was born and brought up
in Dumbarton. On leaving school, she followed a career in the NHS in Glasgow. Having had an interest in drawing and painting from a very young
age, she took the opportunity while she worked in the city to attend
evening classes at Glasgow School of Art. She was encouraged by her
tutors to prepare a portfolio and apply for entry to art school and was
surprised and delighted to be accepted as a full time student in 1985.
She graduated in 1989 and has developed her painting ever since. In 1996
she moved to Kinross-shire and she has been greatly inspired by the
local landscape. Walking the dogs is a routine part of her day and,
increasingly, they have crept into her paintings. Her sister’s two
labradors, Rolo and Buster, have proved to be excellent models.
