Wendy Pomeroy

Pomeroy Landscapes associated with Rykerson Architecture

Wendy Pomeroy was raised in Greenwich Village, New York and Cornwall, Connecticut.  She received her BA from Marlboro College, Vermont, where she majored in painting and sculpture.Wendy moved to the Boston area and worked as a picture framer, worked at Harvard’s Fogg Art Museum as an installer, and assisted in the restoration process of the museum.

She began working as an architectural model builder at the firm of Shepley Bulfinch Richardson Abbott and while enjoying building in three dimensions, she became acutely aware that the landscaping around the structures held more interest to her than did the buildings.   She enrolled in the Landscape Architecture program at Radcliffe Seminars, and completed graduate work there.

In the meantime, she kept up artistic endeavors through the North Cambridge Artists’ Association. She taught classes in color theory for those studying Landscape Architecture through her involvement with the Boston Society of Landscape Architects.

When she became a mother, open spaces and the ocean called.  She moved with her family to Kittery Point, Maine, with a new variety of landscape potentials.  Years of work at the landscape firm JNL deepened her technical expertise in plant and hardscape design.  With a continuing interest in the environment, Wendy designs with a focus on careful use of plants and using organic materials.  Wendy is also proud to be a Board member of the Kittery Land Trust.

Wendy’s intuitive sense of design and spatial problem solving has added an important dimension to Rykerson Architecture.
