A seasoned performing artist, Wendy is adding songwriting and original custom instrumental slide guitar soundtracks to her repertoire. 

Wendy is fortunate and lucky to have benefitted from some extraordinary mentors during her career including award winning songwriter Grace Askew and legendary bluesman Bill Howl-N-Madd Perry.

Continuting to work with a mentor she met at a Nashville Retreat, summer 2022, Wendy is delighted to have secured a spot  in Andrea Stolpe's year-long intenstive songwriting Platinum Masterclass Mentorship program. The program runs through January 2024.

  In 2023, Wendy has taken slide guitar to the Boys and Girls Club of Oxford, and the Coldwater Public Library in Coldwater Mississippi,   supported in part by the Mississippi Humanities Council. 

Wendy is delighted to have been invited back to the RL Boyce picnic in Como Labor Day Weekend 2023 as a performer on Sunday, AND an instructor at the guitar workshop on Saturday.
