Wendy DesChene was born in Canada, but has lived and study in many parts of the world, including San Francisco, Montreal, Vancouver, Philadelphia, Rome Italy, South Florida and Alabama. As she cannot choose a favorite town let alone country, she now splits her time between Auburn, Toronto and New York, NY, with her two pet rabbits, Lucious and Cooter. After graduating from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia with a MFA in painting she began to show and lecture in earnest. She has been in shows in North America, Europe and Japan.
