Heron’s Nest is the home studio & gallery of Artist/Author, Wendie Donabie, where paint, paper and reclaimed materials come together in artwork reflecting a deep love for the Earth— and a quiet call to protect her.

What you’ll find here: From canvas to collage to reclaimed books, my work is guided by a love of the Earth and a need to bear witness to its vulnerability. Paintings, collage, reloved and repurposed items, images and words combined in one-of-a-kind treasures.
