From an extremely early age Wendilyn was fascinated with Mythology and Ancient Religions. Her family, being an eclectic mix of Atheist (father), Roman Catholic (mother), and Jewish (sister), did not interfere in her intellectual and spiritual explorations. At the age of seven she began seriously studying Mythology, Archæology, Art and Ancient History. Both her mother and sister were talented artists, but did not focus their efforts on their art.

A self described "hybrid" -- because of a rich genetic mix of Welsh, Irish, Scottish, English, Austrian, Dutch, French, and Choctaw Indian bloodlines -- and "mutant" -- because of her odd eyes: the right is blue and the left is green -- Wendilyn pulls from her various cultural backgrounds and interests in creating her artworks in a style dubbed Art Naif (Naive Art) or simply "Eikonographia".
