Painting Brush Strokes with Soul and Story
Wendy Shipman Artist
I’m Wendy—gouache artist, storyteller, and founder of MakeHer Studio. My creative journey began over fifty years ago with a drafting pencil in hand and a heart full of quiet wonder. Today, I paint stories of faith, inheritance, and restoration—using gouache not just for studies, but for soulful, large-scale works that speak softly and stay long.
My latest piece, Legacy of the Three Graces, honours three generations of women and the virtues they carried: faith, hope, and love. It’s a painting made slowly, with intention—an offering of truth, memory, and belonging

“I was thrilled to buy your painting
It is a privilege to have your art on my wall, and I will always cherish it.
I have been searching for a picture of the island,
but nothing has captivated me like yours-it is truly special."
