Hello and thank you for visiting my website.  This website is a personal gallery of paintings that I painted during a very tragic time in my life.  I am not a professional painter/artist, just a person who found comfort in painting during an unwanted and tragic time in my life. The gallery of paintings documents my journey and my grief that was felt as I watched my dad suffer and pass away from ALS. ALS is a very cruel disease. It was very hard and unbearable to watch it progress and take the life of such a wonderful man.  My Dad was a very strong, caring, and gentle man.  He was my Hero, however even the strongest and bravest can not survive ALS. ALS became my personal emotional storm as I watched it cruelly take the life of my Dad. All the things that I saw and felt during this time were overwhelming and truly unbearable. All the the things I saw and felt had to go somewhere because they were tearing me apart. Painting was where I found some sort of comfort and refuge from the Storm.  I am hoping that my journey told through words and paintings will bring awareness and hope to finding a cure for ALS, as well as provide some sort of comfort to people with ALS and their families.  You are not alone in your journey. --Wendy

2025: Hello, I am currently working on paintings and poems that address mental illness. Many of the paintings have poems that relate to the same feeling. I have also been working on a poetry book. It has been challenging in my ways, some beyond my control (or the illusion of control). Thank you for your patience, I am feeling a little lost right now —Windy Morey
