Wanda Kline's artwork can
best be described as childhood memories wrapped in imagination. Through each
composition Kline shares the joy of growing up on a barrier island, recalling
the magic days of summers past. As a observer of her work, you are drawn into
your own memories; you want to be there, to relive sunny days, carefree times
and the beauty of nature. Fifteen years of graphic design clearly influenced
the style and composition of this artist. However, her mastery of the oil
medium is the obvious result of her training at Boston University and the
Boston Museum School. Her palette is clean and fresh. Combining the use of
palette knife and brush she creates a lush organic feel to landscapes and beach
scenes. Kline maintains a studio in Ocean City, New Jersey and imparts her
talent as a teacher at the Ocean City Art Center. Her paintings are widely
exhibited in galleries throughout the United States and in many private and
corporate collections.
