The Way We Are is a whimsical and heartfelt celebration of the moments we often overlook – from café scenes and village cats to lockdown oddities and shared glances. Blending British wit with the charm of rural France, Wendy’s illustrations transform ordinary experiences into joyful, story-filled snapshots. At its heart, the project is about connection: finding humour in the familiar and warmth in the unexpected. Whether through prints, cards or children’s books, The Way We Are invites you to pause, smile, and see the world a little differently.
Wendy Klein is a British-born artist and illustrator whose work captures the quirks, humour, and quiet beauty of everyday life.
After years of sketchbooks, scribbles, and serendipitous stories, I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome you to the newly refreshed website for The Way We Are. This has been a long time coming, and finally putting pen to digital paper (so to speak) feels a bit like stepping into a freshly painted studio with a cup of tea in hand and a world of possibilities ahead.
