"Wendy Franklin was born in 1971 in Lebanon, Ohio. She pursued art in some form, with much passion all of her life but became convinced after a brutal string of all nighters to switch her major from art to teaching, graduating with the Oh So Practical Degree in Education in 1995 from Ball State University. In the winding path of life, she never taught and instead routinely, happily pulls all nighters meeting deadlines. She resides in Indianapolis, Indiana working from a sunny studio in what was once a car factory. Her work is in private, corporate and museum collections across the country and is well represented in galleries."
