Biography

Gwendolyn was raised on the Omaha reservation in Nebraska by her mother. She now chases the city life but suspects she will return to the countryside when she's tired of getting parking tickets. 

Since the age of three, Gwen has been practicing portraiture and by age fifteen, she was accidentally drawing naked people. By eighteen, she created an award-winning pencil piece that was displayed in the United States Capital. Subsequently, she has utilized colored pencil, charcoal, ink and acrylic before being introduced in her fifth year of University to oil. She laments the years she spent trying to blend acrylic.
