Wendy Tigerman
About
Wendy Tigerman is a mostly-retired copywriter, graphic designer, comedy broadcast producer, and creative director in advertising and entertainment. She’s an L.A. native aka former Sorrento beach bunny, student of Tibetan Buddhism, and tries to only do things that are fun and make her laugh.
She gardens daily, talks to strangers, and pesters her rescue pooches for love. She takes photos constantly, writes irregularly, and creates award-winning digital collage and assemblage. Oh, and she has a major crush on James Outman, Centerfield, Los Angeles Dodgers.
(Wendy’s favorite moment as a writer came when Pulitzer nominee, Allen Ginsberg, told her first husband that if he wanted to be a better poet, he should follow her and write down everything she said.)
In her visual work “first thought, best thought” guides her and she celebrates the mundane as spiritual. She plunks down an image, responds to that, then responds to that until the collage makes her nod her head and exhale deeply. And sometimes smile like a goon. If you ask her what her work means more than not her answer is “your guess is as good as mine.”
Wendy’s purpose in life is to be kind, generous and to create visual moments.
