Wendy Mortensen's artistic journey is a symphony composed of years spent traversing the globe. Within her creations, strands of silver and gold intertwine with discovered treasures, from rare beads to semi-precious stones and timeless antiques, imbued with an essence of whimsy. Wendy's odyssey in jewelry making commenced amidst the enchanting landscapes of Santa Fe, New Mexico, during the early 1970s. Fuelled by an insatiable wanderlust and a profound love for her craft, she embarked on expeditions to the farthest reaches of Bali, Indonesia, Africa, India, and beyond.
Each piece Wendy crafts tells a tale of her adventures, blending the exotic allure of distant lands with her own creative vision. It is a narrative woven from the threads of exploration and passion, culminating in an exquisite collection of treasures that captivate the imagination. We are thrilled to welcome Wendy as the newest luminary in the GlassBoat Local Artist Collection, where her creations serve as portals to a world of wonder and beauty.
