In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Wendy Barratt (@wendybarrattart)
Wendy’s journey is nothing short of inspiring...
Originally a finalist in Worthing Portrait Artist of the Year (Now Sussex Portrait Artist of the Year) Wendy then went on to win Sky’s Portait Artist of the Year in 2023!
Her stunning portrait of Jane Goodall now hangs in the National Portrait Gallery where her self portrait was featured in the Herbert Smith Freehills Portrait Award exhibition in 2024.
With her first-hand experience as a competitor and a deep understanding of portraiture, Wendy brings invaluable insight to our judging panel.
