Wendy Whiteley
Wendy Susan Whiteley (born 1941) is best known as the "goddess muse" and wife of the artist Brett Whiteley, and as the mother of their daughter, the actress Arkie Whiteley (1964-2001). She has become a notable cultural figure, particularly since her ex-husband's death in 1992. She posed for Brett many times, and his work was strongly influenced by her opinions. Although they divorced three years before he died, she has control of Brett Whiteley's estate including the copyright to his works, and she honoured his memory in the establishment of the Brett Whiteley Studio in Surry Hills, Sydney, which is now owned and managed as an art museum by the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
Wendy Whiteley is also known for the restoration and landscaping of a derelict public area in Lavender Bay, Sydney, which she turned into a "magic garden" and where Brett and Arkie Whiteley's ashes are buried.
==Background and early years==
Wendy Susan Julius was born in Sydney in 1941. She came from a creative lineage. Her great-grandfather was Charles Yelverton O'Connor, engineer for Fremantle Harbour and the Kalgoorlie Pipeline, who committed suicide ten months before the pipeline was opened.〔Tauman, Merab. ''The Chief: C Y O'Connor''. University of Western Australia Press, 1978, p. 254.〕〔Evans A.G. ''C Y O'Connor: His Life and Legacy''. University of Western Australia Press, 2001, p. 225.〕 Her grandfather was Sir George Julius, the inventor of the totalisator and co-founder of the CSIRO. A great-aunt, Kate O'Connor, was a painter who lived in Paris most of her life.〔Hutchings P. AE. and Lewis J. ''Kathleen O'Connor: Artist in Exile''. Fremantle Arts Centre Press, 1987.〕〔Gooding, Janda. ''Chasing Shadows: The Art of Kathleen O'Connor''. Art Gallery of Western Australia, 1996.〕
Her father, George Yelverton Julius, known as "Gentleman George",〔Hilton & Blundell, p. 34〕 was thrown out by her mother for infidelity when Wendy was six and she and her sister have little or no memory of him. When Wendy was about 12, she was devastated to read in the newspapers that her father had been sent to prison for eight years for burglary. Her mother later remarried.〔 She attended Lindfield Public School and Hornsby Girls' High School.〔Hilton & Blundell, p. 34〕 She won art awards and a David Jones Drawing Prize, which defrayed the costs of her formal studies at East Sydney Technical College.〔
