Instructor

Wendy Orville was born in New York and grew up in New Haven, Connecticut. She received a BA in Fine Arts from Yale University and an MFA in Painting from American University. Her monotypes have been exhibited at the Tacoma Art Museum, the Museum of Northwest Art, the Bellevue Art Museum and the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. Wendy’s monotypes are featured in the book Singular & Serial: Contemporary Monotype and Monoprint. She is represented by Harris Harvey Gallery in Seattle, Washington. Wendy has taught at Pratt Fine Arts, The Henry Art Gallery, University of Indiana and numerous other venues. Currently, she teaches monotype workshops for beginning and experienced artists at BARN and out of her printmaking studio on Bainbridge Island. Trained as a painter but largely self-taught as a printmaker, she fell in love with the monotype process when she lived in Taos, New Mexico. Something happened ... that opened up a different part of me. I felt genuinely free to experiment and fail, trusting myself to follow the process anywhere it led.” Visit her website at www.wendyorville.com and Instagram at @wendyorville.
