Wanda is known to be primarily a plein air painter following the path with her husband, Kevin Macpherson. Last year they had the unique experience of spending six months in the French countryside. Kevin says, “It is really exciting to see her body of work and how her painting skills have grown”.

     A career in art was far from her mind when Wanda graduated from college with a degree in business. However, her creative side has triumphed through a long and happy collaboration with Kevin Macpherson, partner and renowned painter. Together they work as fully engaged partisans in a commitment to artistic creation at the highest level. Wanda has studied at the Scottsdale Artists’ School with some of the country’s best artists and years of side-by-side instruction with Kevin have given her an artistic foundation to explore her own path. She has developed a delicate impressionistic technique and sensitive color harmonies through the keen observation techniques known to ‘en plein air’. She developed her own unique sensibility slowly, never pressured by commitments to galleries or a need to sell her work. Kevin proudly describes the results, “I now see that Wanda has natural qualities that are all her own. I admire her color shifts, her subtle handling of light, and her simple clarity. She has a warm eye and an extreme sensitivity to the nuance of color.

     Wanda works in oils, painting on location throughout the United States and Europe. She is a Signature Member of the American Impressionist Society winning the ‘Oil Painting’ award in 2000. Additionally, her paintings and technique were selected to be included in the book, “Painting With Water Soluble Oils”, currently available through North Light Publishing. Her paintings are in her husband, Kevin Macpherson, newest book, "Landscape Painting Inside and Out".

     Wanda interprets the daily turn of nature with resplendent light. Plein air painting and traveling is a natural companion. Traveling to new places makes one live in the present. Senses come alive in new intriguing cultures and environments. On holiday we know our time is precious so we live each moment to the fullest. Plein air painting encourages us to live each day to the max. Wanda is certainly bitten with ‘wanderlust’ and can be seen painting en plein air almost anywhere in the world with husband Kevin.
