Wendy Letven is a multidisciplinary artist working in sculpture, installation and painting in the New York area. She received a B.F.A. from Tyler School of Art and an M.F.A. from Hunter College. She currently serves on the faculty of The New School at Parsons School of Design. In 2024, Letven realized a major public commission for NYC’s Percent for Art program, installing a large-scale ceiling sculpture for a public school in New York. She is a MacDowell Fellow and a recipient of the Workspace Grant from Dieu Donné (New York) and the 2023 New Jersey State Council on the Arts Fellowship for Sculpture. Her work has been featured in significant public installations and art fairs, including Art on Paper Fair, New York (2025); Arts Brookfield, New York (2024); Riverside Park, New York (2021); Urban Outfitters Headquarters, Philadelphia (2020); PULSE Art Fair, Miami (2019); and the Flatiron Prow Artspace, New York (2018). Her works have been exhibited across the United States, including Fou Gallery, New York (2020/2026); site-specific installations at the Art on Paper Fair in New York and Amsterdam with NL=US Gallery (2023–2025); Brookfield Place Winter Garden Gallery, New York (2022) and Sheila C. Johnson Design Center, New York (2018).

Her work explores a personal language of abstraction that interprets natural phenomena—such as motion, resonance, and harmony—to investigate the underlying mechanisms of space, time, and the fabric of the universe. Drawing inspiration from music, poetry, and philosophy, she seeks to establish an aesthetic synesthesia by juxtaposing geometric and organic forms, pursuing a deeper order of life within seemingly disparate visual entities, with a strong belief in an omnipresent, deeper order of life rather than randomness.
