Wendy Bredehoft’s interest in developing a visual vocabulary that conveys personal meaning, while eliciting a separate, yet similarly personal response in the viewer, has spanned several decades and varying explorations into media and form.

Currently, her pastel work is rooted in color and line, and expresses a personal response to the landscape that has had such a pervasive influence in her daily rhythm and routine over the years. Color and texture become the means for communicating something that is more than the compositional elements, and an imaginative documentation of interaction with a particular place and moment in time.

Bredehoft maintains a national exhibition schedule while working as a consultant on arts, arts education and non-profit organizational issues. She is the Education Curator for the University of Wyoming Art Museum. Bredehoft was the Director of Cultural Resources for the State of Wyoming from 1999 – 2004, directing five cultural programs: the Arts Council, State Museum, State Historic Preservation, State Archives and State Office of Archaeology. Previously she managed the Arts in Education program for the Wyoming Arts Council (1988-99). She has served on numerous arts and education boards and review panels; and worked as a teacher, lecturer and artist in residence in Wyoming schools and colleges.
