Sacks grew up surrounded by art and science. Her mother, a fabric designer and painter, instilled a fearlessness for creativity. Wendy’s father and grandfather, both physicians, exposed her to medical literature and texts at a young age which enhanced her understanding in the human condition. This combination in turn, shaped her interests and lead her to her career as a physician and then as a photographer.
Wendy Sacks’s work has received international acclaim. Published and exhibited worldwide, her work has been acquired by La Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris , France, Shijazhuang Art Museum, Hebie Provence, China, Dali Photography Museum, Yunnan Province, China, High Noon Art and Culture, Beijing, China, and private collections worldwide.
Her first photo book (October 2016) , à fleur d'eau, in collaboration with Claude Nori as publisher ( Contrejour Publishing House, Paris), includes her two series, Immersed in Living Water and Monsters in the Closet.
