Biography from Kiechel Fine Art:
| "There was never a question I was to be an artist. The only question was, ‘Which medium would it be?’"
Hailing from rural Nebraska, Wendy Jane Bantam was immersed in nature
during her childhood. As a girl, she imagined surrealistic
fantasy worlds of storytelling animals. Today, Bantam's wild
imagination is conveyed by her brushstrokes. Rich and textured
with layers of paint and colors, Bantam's canvases are filled with
personal iconography that lend to her work's signature narrative
quality.
Bantam received her bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of
Kansas. She is currently pursuing her M.F.A. at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln. She exhibits regularly in gallery and museum
shows nationwide including the Museum of Nebraska Art in Kearney and
Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery in Lincoln. She also has
participated in juried competitions in Kansas City and completed an
artist residency in Bali, Indonesia, in 2000, studying Balinese
painting. |
