Wyanne's preferred mediums are graphite pencil and pen & ink, though she also does many works using coloured pencil, watercolour, and acrylic paint. One of her favourite techniques using pen & ink, not widely-used, is called "pointillism". It is the art of applying dots to create a complete image. This technique is highly time-consuming, but the finished affect highly realistic when done well.
In 2006 Wyanne won 3rd Place Artist's Choice Award for "Favourite Overall Drawing/Illustration". These awards were created by the artists of eBay. You can see Wyanne's current artworkfor sale on eBay by searching her eBay ID "wchase66".

As with many artists, Wyanne began with a natural talent for art and has seen the world with an "artist's eye" since the day she could hold a pencil. Entering professional artist status in her late teens, her works were published in Canadian periodicals, "The Westcoast Fisherman" and "Extreme Magazine" as well as the illustrations in a sports training book entitled "Going Long". Wyanne's fine art and commissions can be seen in personal art galleries across Canada, the USA, France, the United Kindgom, Australia and Switzerland. She is also an accomplished graphic designer and web designer.
A portion of Wyanne's art sales goes to animal rescues and shelters across Canada and the USA to help care for abandoned, abused and neglected animals. Just a few rescues she has donated to include:
