Hello, I'm WEN.

WEN is an East Coast artist and illustrator trained during the Kenmore Square years at The Art Institute of Boston. Her work explores the intersection of human behavior​,​ literature​,​ and biography. This gallery is the exclusive destination for WEN’s most intimate and experimental works. Collectors can explore The Seeds (foundational studies for larger series)​,​ Personal Narratives (deep-dive thematic works)​,​ and Experimental Annotations (raw​,​ discounted studies where the artist’s "mistakes" provide unique insight into the creative evolution). These pieces offer a direct look at the psychological depth WEN brings from her professional background in behavioral support into the fine art space. WEN operates out of a historic 1927 studio in Connecticut that has been in continuous use by artists for nearly a century. As only the third owner of the home​,​ WEN follows the creative footsteps of the original resident​,​ artist Greta Funk Newman​,​ and the subsequent artist-owners. This unbroken legacy of makers informs WEN’s work​,​ blending the disciplined craftsmanship of the past with the analytical tools of the future AI Usage Disclosure: My artwork is 100% hand-crafted and human-generated. I do not use AI to create images. Instead​,​ I utilize Artificial Intelligence as a visual auditor and research partner. I feed my finished original works into analytical models to ensure my themes​,​ composition​,​ and color theory are communicating with technical precision. If the machine can recognize the intent behind my brushstrokes​,​ I know I have achieved my goal of visual clarity. I also leverage AI to conduct deep thematic research into literature and history​,​ ensuring every piece is intellectually grounded.
