Penny is an Artist, Illustrator and Educator graduating from Falmouth University this year with an MA in illustration. Her practice has developed through being informed by her research in to psychology, heritage and culture combined with immersion in nature. Penny explores nature journalling which informs her mark making, visual language and chosen media.

Penny’s work brings together analogue and digital skills such as Painting, photography, drawing, gold leaf/gilding as well experimental lensless photography techniques such as cyanotype.

Penny has recently taken a break from working in secondary education, where she was most recently leading a high performing art and photography department, to further expand her artistic practice and publish her work, she will continue to consult and advise departments using her expert knowledge. Her experience of working with young people, and as a mother, also underpin some of the concepts in her prints and illustrations in an effort to capture the humour and love in intergenerational relationships in modern society.
