Born in Rockaway Beach, New York, Wendy White’s palette was strongly influenced by her early environment of living by the sea. Her father was a painter and while she was growing up, she and her twin brother would frequently model for him as he painted. During her teen years her father became blind, and she became her "father's eyes." She received a full academic scholarship to Barnard College of Columbia University where she fulfilled her medical school requirements hoping to find a cure for her father's blindness. Her father regained his vision in one eye during her sophomore year at the same time she was studying painting with her mentor, the abstract expressionist, Milton Resnick. Due to Milton's continual inspiration and encouragement she rediscovered the light from her childhood, and began fully developing her abstract impressionist style paramount in her work today.

Since graduating from Columbia in 1981, Ms. White steadily exhibits in national galleries in New York City; in the East Village, SoHo, Midtown, and Harlem, in Washington, D.C., New Jersey, Connecticut and Florida. Her international exhibitions include galleries in Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Finland, Buenos Aires and Switzerland.

Wendy White has sold over 160 canvases, has had over 95 exhibitions. She is the co-founder and President of the New Light Foundation, Inc., a non-profit corporation dedicated to helping young people pursue an education regardless of their financial circumstances. Wendy was awarded a government sponsored show by the VKI Gallery Center in Copenhagen, Denmark where she exhibited 40 new canvases and was funded for her stay during the month of May 1997.

She is inspired by the old masters as well as the modern day expressionists and is fully committed to paint and utilize her gift for the better good of the world. At present she is focusing on achieving her dream of international cultural exchanges in order to create a universal bridge of peace between all the countries of the world.
