Wendy Minor Viny is Passion Works Studio’s featured artist for the month of August. Wendy began her time at Passion Works as a volunteer in 1999 and quickly moved into the Lead Artist-in-Residence position of that year. Wendy's ability to work collaboratively and individually is a huge contribution to the studio. Her refined use of light and layers is used to guide rather than influence the creative process of artists she works with. Wendy studied sculpture and painting at both Ohio State University and The Columbus College of Art and Design. In 1993, she co-founded Standing Stone Arts Collective in Amesville, Ohio, where she lived and worked collaboratively until 2001. Wendy is also an artist with the Ohio Arts Council’s Artist-in-Residence program, teaching painting and found-object sculpture in Ohio’s public and private schools. She has been recognized for her own work as well as for her work with Passion Works Studio on National Public Radio, PBS (Conversations in Humanities), and various publications such as Dialogue, USA Today and Ohio Magazine.

A HUGE thank you goes out to Deni Naffziger of Hocking College for introducing her students to Passion Works and to Bruce Dalzell who spent countless hours organizing, producing and recording the CD as well as serving as the Master of Ceremonies at the release party. Another big thank you to all the musicians and Factory Street Dancers for their amazing performances and to Emily Prince of ARTS/West for the use of their performance space!
