Well-Bailey has been influenced by the Fauvists, Cubists, and Futurists of the early 20 th  century.
These artists, Matisse, Derain, Braque, Duffy, among others created exciting and vibrantly
coloured works of art. Wendy has been further influenced by Art Deco artists such as Tamara
de Lempicka, and Arts & Crafts Movement architects Mary Jane Colter and Frank Lloyd Wright. 
The reworking of their style and color combined with her love for Meso-American art and
culture has become her signature style.

small works and 25 for her larger pieces.
