Wendy Lynn  Persch

Born in Salt Lake City, Utah   but spent most of her childhood in Los Angeles, Wendy was  always  fond  of  the  artful  and animal side of life.

Business was always a  focus  at  the  Persch  house.  Wendy had no idea that she would be part of that world in her future.

Growing up in Glendora with her horse and freedom to roam the foothills Wendy studied nature with all of the colors and shapes the world had to offer.  With the majesty of a horse by her side most of her teen   life , s he became more and more connected to the earth.

Dogs were her other devoted companions and she never seemed to be without one.

Family businesses were many and hectic.  She felt blessed to imagine what it would be like to be an artist while traveling to secret places on her horse.

Since horses were always on her mind she began sketching and memorizing all breeds, colors and dispositions.

That was the beginning of her art.

The family moved back to Salt Lake when she was 15.  Her horse Judy was sold. 

Business  and  jobs  were  foremost  on  the  schedule .  Then a farm was leased for the reason that her grandfather was a dairy man and her father knew a farm experience would enhance their lives.

Wendy was able to have another horse, a beautiful American Saddle Bred she  named  Taran.   Life was  all  about  that , along with starting oil painting classes in High School .

She felt natural with the brush and started painting realism, people and horses. 

As a senior she had a piece showcased at the high school and later sold that painting when she was 19  years  old.
