Wendy Mallas, Artist

Wendy Mallas is an artist from Stockport. After spending many years as an Illustrator and Heraldic Artist, she now concentrates her time painting portraits in acrylic on canvas, some of which she has kindly donated to raise money for select charities.

Here's a few quotes about her work:

…very realistic, Rio Ferdinand, Manchester United and England Footballer


You rock, Wendy, Lee Boardman, actor


OMG! Do you know how FAB your painting is?!, Beverley Knight, singer


I really like the painting, it must have taken a lot of effort and concentration. I hope it raises a lot money for a very worthy cause., Steven Gerrard, Liverpool FC and England footballer


It's ******* brilliant, I think it's well ******* good that it's gonna make a load of money for the charity, Ricky Hatton, boxer


The painting is amazing. I really hope the bidding goes well and maybe we can raise a bit more money than the one of Steven, Fernando Torres, Liverpool FC

Your portrait is soooo amazing. I'm so happy and grateful, Calum Best

I love the painting. Great work. I hope it makes a load of money, Paul "Gazza" Gascoigne, former England footballer
