“These latest drawings, gouaches, pastels and paintings are Wendy Sharpe’s most audacious to date. Subject, colour and painterly exuberance suggest an ever-growing confidence and willingness to take risks. Undoubtedly one of the best known figurative painters in Sydney, she is also one of the most accomplished and exhilarating. Looking at her work is a joy, reflecting the pleasure she has in her subjects and in the making of her art.”
