Wendy Romero (America, b. 1975), Professor of Art at Loras College, works in a limited, mute palate to create textural cross-sections of earth and sky. Her somber, quiet images have evolved with the addition of metallic paints and pops of accent colors – enlivening her typically somber surfaces with an ethereal glow. Romero was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. She studied art at the Savannah College of Art and Design and Georgia Southern University. She has been with the Art Department at Loras since 2004.
