“I believe there is magic in the way we see the world when we allow ourselves to look beyond the ordinary. My art is an exploration of that magic—a colorful, whimsical expression of emotions, experiences, and the beauty found in both the extraordinary and everyday moments of life…Through my work, I hope to inspire others to pause, explore, smile, and perhaps see something they hadn't noticed before. Most of all, I hope to remind people that wonder never really disappears. Sometimes, it just needs a little awakening.” —Wendy Dispennette
