Wendy Savage A photographer, digital artist and printmaker. Her interest in photography has spanned nearly twenty-five years and continues to be the foundation from which she builds her images. She has always been interested in alternative photographic processes as well as integrating photography with other mediums. Wendy’s formative years in photography were spent utilizing traditional darkroom techniques, combing liquid emulsions, paints, pastels, watercolor papers, canvases, silks, and alternative chemical processes to create her final pieces. It is her love for texture and the tactile qualities often seen in paintings, sculpture, and nature that lead her to experiment with photography in the way that she did. It is from this foundation that Wendy began developing ideas regarding post-process surface manipulation and image enhancement while integrating them within digital technology. For the past ten years, Wendy’s standard method of creating and printing her imagery is done entirely using digital processing. Happily embracing digital imaging as part of her artistic palette, while further extending her interest in alternative processes, Wendy utilizes computer programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Corel’s Painter as some of the many tools she uses to blend imagery from many different sources. Wendy Savage was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1959. She graduated from Florida State University in 1982 with a BA in studio art (photography) that also includes a minor in music. In 2005 Wendy received an MFA in visual arts fromthe Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University. She is an adjunct instructor of art at Meredith College where she has taught Digital Imaging, Photoshop workshops for Color Theory classes taught by Georgia Springer and Ann Roth, and is presently teaching Book Design. Next fall she will be teaching Photo 1. Wendy also developed and teaches Intro to Medical Photography at NC State College of Veterinary Medicine to DVM students.
