Wendy, also known as 'The Artful Gypsy', has always loved reading and art from a very young age. While other kids ran around and played outside, Wendy preferred to run free in the land of 'imagination'! Reading, drawing, taking pictures,writing poems...if it was creative, she was doing it. Wendy is a 3rd generation Floridian, born, raised and still living in that great playground of a state. She majored in Advertising/Public Relations in college where she began to get more interested in photography as a creative outlet. www.amdahlphotography.com

Next came love, marriage, 2 children and becoming her own boss. After getting a scrapbook related business under her belt, Wendy decided to pursue her love of photography and graphic design full time. She signed on with Super Stock / RGB Ventures to rep her Rights Managed Photography, and works independently as a freelance artist / graphic designer. Her work is currently sold at her new Etsy shop,The Artful Gypsy's Bohemian Marketplace. www.artfulgypsy.etsy.com

In the last few years, she's also added 2 blogs to her ever expanding list of creative outlets.www.artfulgypsy.typepad.com Wendy's specialty niches include 'retro' and her favorite holiday 'Halloween'! And if she had to use one word to describe her style...she'd be forced to go with 'eclectic' because she finds it very difficult and boring to stick with just one aesthetic. She loves having lots of options, and believes strongly that variety is the spice of life, which is evident in the diversity of her work.
