Penny’s studio gives wide open windswept views of mountains, moorlands and mist; her work is about the little things that make up that landscape of freedom, the places where you feel the full force of wind and weather and find some perspective on life.
Her semi-abstract landscapes focus on the feeling of being outside in all weathers and layers of oils and cold wax are built up and excavated again to create atmosphere not detail. She often uses found pigments, burning charcoal from the trees, collecting stones and grinding to make paints created from the landscapes she is painting.
