Wendy Rix's Gallery

Wendy Rix

Yaama! Hello! My name is Wendy Rix and I am a contemporary visual artist living in Queensland, Australia. My family are from Goodooga, New South Wales, and I am a descendant of the Noongaburrah (Kurrajong) people, speakers of Yuwaalaraay. I love going home to visit the family, even though its hot and dry!

I have always been interested in art and design, however my career path to get here is very different! I trained as an RN, gaining my DipAppSci (Nursing) at QUT, and then my Bachelor of Nursing at Edith Cowan University. I was a Nursing Officer  in the Royal Australian Army Nursing Corps but discharged after being injured in a car accident. I have done everything!  I have worked in an Aboriginal Medical Centre,  and Lands Council. I have been a stay at home Mum, a working Mum and a single working Mum! I have worked in a ladies boutique, had a lawn mowing business and sold food via party plan.

Eventually going back to nursing and was a  community nurse for a number of years. I completed a Dip Dementia Care in recent times  and have also worked with a client in her home via her home care package, doing social art sessions. But now - full time artist!!!!!!!!

​You will find my work overseas and around Australia, on walls as originals or fine art reproductions. You will also see my designs on clothing ranges and for commissions for indigenous jerseys and tattoos!   My handcrafted crosses of all sizes can be found in schools, homes and churches. I do classroom prayer tablecloths, and can get custom sizes for you. You will also find my mural work in schools and cafes - on internal and external walls, as well as timber panelling.  

​Workshops can be arranged in schools, business and privately. I try to teach patience, show simple art techniques, share my cultural experiences, how to tune into your story and get guidance from our higher power, and all regardless of your previous art experience.
