MessageCollection: Circle Series
My Circle Collection is an ongoing series of vibrant, textured paintings. It’s not immediately apparent that they are created on repurposed vinyl records because the object is so thoroughly transformed. I especially love how these round paintings float about an inch from the wall, adding depth and intrigue. I invented a custom hanging system by installing a “disappearing” panel on the back. These artworks are effortless to unbox and display! Inspired by nature and intuition, these paintings invite personal resonance—memories, emotions, and connections that are uniquely yours.
Wendy Born is a New Jersey–based painter known for her vibrant, textured landscapes that reveal the beauty in everyday moments. Working from direct observation, she captures fleeting light, shadow, and connection—what she calls the everyday sublime. Her richly layered compositions are inspired by local places like Van Vleck Garden and Verona Park.
Wendy balances a thriving studio practice with teaching, driven by her belief that noticing beauty leads to joy and gratitude. Her work invites viewers to slow down, look closely, and feel more connected to the world around them.
