The influence behind Wendy's use of wood can be attributed largely to her repeated travels throughout Africa, where she observed many different uses of wood as jewellery in African culture.

Through trial and error and a genuine love for wood as a material Wendy has learnt to harness its natural character and beauty. She has discovered that by working with the grain it is possible to accentuate the shape of each piece and enables her to create movement throughout her work.

Inspiration is taken from her extensive travels throughout the world and from both architectural and natural shapes and forms that surround us in day to day life. Due to the individual nature of the grain within the wood, each piece has it's own unique one of a kind feel, and through her designs Wendy manages to emphasise the natural essence of the wood and how beauty forms in the colours and shapes within the wood.
