The Courtyard Studio
is the trading name for artist Wendy Sabine, H.S., S.Lm., S.M., originating
from the time when her studio was in an historic close near to the cathedral
in St Andrews. Wendy has been a practising artist for many years and has
been in full time business as a professional artist since the 1980s. She
enjoys working in any medium and specialises in miniatures, landscapes
and portraits.
Wendy is an elected member of various miniature societies including the
Hilliard, the Limners and the Society of Miniaturists and her works can
be seen at any of the annual exhibitions of these groups across the UK.
Wendy has also exhibited at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition and
she has works in collections in America, Europe and New Zealand.
Currently, the most popular products of the Courtyard Studio involve original
miniature paintings completed in fine detail on silver set agate pendants
and brooches; earrings and cufflinks are also available. These unique
jewellery items feature paintings completed in minute detail on semi-precious
agate and a range of other gemstones such as onyx, lapis, tigers eye and
carnelian. Any subject will be considered, but animal portraits, wildlife
and angels, unicorns and Pegasus are popular.
Portraits:
These are usually completed in pastel or oil. People and animals provide
popular subjects for commissions.
Landscapes: Here, watercolours are the favoured medium.
From miniature (say 3 inches square) to large, from homes & gardens
to mountains and coastlines………. the choice of subject
is endless!
