Wendi Knape’s Reflections of the Soul Through Mixed Media

Creating metaphors of the soul through art.

Wendi is an acrylic artist who is curious about spirituality, or lack thereof, and its effects on the evolution of the human soul from birth to death and beyond.

How a human’s existence changes over the course of a lifetime differs as we each go through a culmination of events that affect us deeply. Our experiences and choices have a profound impact on our personality, perceptions, and how we navigate life. Often it instills a sense of fear that can cripple us. It can rob us of our greatest potential and purpose or bring us the greatest joy.

Wendi opened herself to finding the divine in daily interactions, stories, encounters, and energy. These events might be considered Godly, supernatural, magical, or even mundane, but she has a deep-seated belief that they are transformative. These moments offer us the opportunity to be enlightened, to see the beauty right in front of us, and to discover better possibilities.

Together, we can uplift one another and recognize that we are all on a transformative journey. Wendi believes the soul traverses many landscapes of our own making, and we all stand on the precipice of our choices every day. Each can offer growth or stagnation, which can reflect on how to navigate future paths.

Through her work, she creates pieces that reflect the metamorphosis our soul experiences, the struggles we overcome, and the triumphs we see over a lifetime. Within her portfolio, her work will reference the journey of our souls across the landscape of life.
