Wendy Somero Bello
Wendy Somero Bello
was born in Michigan and is where she first fell in love with nature and
its wildlife. She began drawing as soon as she could hold a crayon. She
would venture into the woods and rivers of Michigan and explore nature
and its beauty for hours.
She lived in several states
before landing in South Florida. Wendy has always had an artistic
eye. She loves photographing, drawing or painting many different
subjects, but her favorites are wildlife and nature. She attended
International Fine Arts College in Miami, FL to learn commercial art,
but always preferred fine art. After college she worked in professional
photo labs for thirteen years. In 1999 she moved to
Atlanta, GA. and in 2002 she opened Art by Somero, painting
wildlife murals
and drawing portraits.
In
2006 she moved back to Florida to be closer to family. She
transitioned back to her first love which is fine wildlife art. She has been part of
and won many awards in local art contests.
Wendy is active in Florida Art Festivals, you can see the shows that she
will be attending in the EVENTS page.
Wendy paints from
the photographs she takes. Every animal you see on this website, Wendy
has been fortunate enough to see live. She has always been fascinated by
their eyes and created the EYES series in order to represent what she
sees in them. In some of Wendy's Eye pieces you can see what the animals
are seeing, we will leave it up to the "Eye of the Beholder" to decide
if it is GOOD or BAD what the animal sees.
Please
feel free to frequent this site as Wendy is constantly updating new
artworks.
