BIO

Wendy Nelson is an artist and entrepreneur. As an artist, Wendy has always reserved time to paint, draw or produce computer animations and fine art. In the past seven years, mosaics have become such a passion, that Wendy decided to integrate mosaic art with her marketing and technology business, MediaTek Grafx.

Mosaics have been a constant evolution for Wendy, from the very first mosaic with all of the natural element combinations - to the glass-on-glass style, and mosaic smalti and porcelain jewelry, which she is currently creating. The colors, textures, vast differences in composition – all are limitless and that is what is so magnetizing. Wendy works with many types of components – agate slices and beautiful china and antique copper trays and tree slices from the woods. Wendy has antique boxes, an octagonal wooden basket, glass, wood and Lucite substrates for future mosaics. She creates mosaic art because it celebrates concentration, yet imperfection, and it provides time for reflection, while using the talents God has given her. Imagination seems to be the only limit to creative possibilities with this art form.

Wendy Nelson has owned two advertising agencies, cumulatively for sixteen years, in Kentucky, Florida and New York. MediaTek Grafx was set up to grow, with a three-fold business plan, from advertising and marketing to technology and graphic arts.

Wendy has participated in various enrichment activities that have enabled her to serve the communities where she lived and shape her business future: The Marketing Academy seminar in Dallas, TX; Marketing for Small Business at Jamestown Community College in Jamestown, NY and attended the Fred Pryor Seminar “How to Supervise People” in Tampa, FL.

Wendy’s art has appeared in productions: “Mosaic Art 3, ‘An International Portfolio of Contemporary Mosaic Art from 2007’" and in the newly released, “Mosaic Art 4, ‘An International Portfolio of Contemporary Mosaic Art from 2008’" – a two DVD set, as well as various web sites. Wendy was Guest Speaker presenting “Self-Employment: Operating an Advertising Agency,” at the Withlacoochee Technical Institute, Inverness, FL. Wendy was also Guest Speaker for a topic for troubled teens regarding “Responsibility and Self-Employment,” at the Eckerd Youth Ranch, Floral City, FL.

Wendy has taught both two-day and three-day mosaic workshops at the Wright Gallery for The Arts Council for Chautauqua County, “Mosaic Wall Hangings for Beginners”

Wendy has been married 34 years and has two grown sons. She enjoys photography, web site design, Bible studies, and browsing antique stores with her husband on weekends. And mosaics.
