Under the guidance of renowned Sydney sculptor Geoffrey Pollard, Wendi Nutt has been carving sandstone for over 5 years. In August 2002 Wendi exhibited at the annual Sculptors Society Exhibition in Darling Park Gallery in Sydney, Australia. Her fascination for faces has been a constant since early childhood.

“As a child, I drew hundreds of tiny faces on the wall next to my bed...and wasn't allowed new wallpaper until I stopped!” says Wendi.

Her simplistic facial carvings are a progression from those childhood scribbling and retain a whimsical aesthetic.

“Wendi Nutt's sculpture ‘Bhishma’, in sandstone, embodies the Buddha-like tranquillity in South-East Asian statues.” Isolde Davis, The Sculptors' Society Bulletin.
