“I am a Wanderer and there is a lot of world to gaze at. I travel to paint and paint to travel,” said the artist. “My plein air kit goes everywhere. It becomes a frame in which to view and imbue the world.”
A lifelong traveler, Wanderer has resided in Orange County since 1990. Traveling has been an integral part of her life and she has visited Europe, Russia and the Holy Land. Wanderer has also studied classical painting techniques at the Florence Academy of Art, both in Florence, Italy, and in Sweden.
