Based in the Yorkshire Dales, Penny paints landscapes actually made from the land that has been walked, pigments ground from stones, or twigs made into charcoal and ground into paints. Each painting holds some of the landscape in the materials used. Wild spaces, where the wind blows your problems away, whether sea or land are the places that inspire these paintings. Penny works in oil and cold wax, with the added element of natural pigments.

Her Fine Art degree, MA and many years teaching helped develop her paintings, each material feeds back into the other, the layering and focus on weather and atmosphere.

Penny is also co-founder of Craven Wildlife Rescue, working with nature is at the heart of everything she does, believing in sustainability, rehabilitation and conservation.

'Incorporating elements of the landscape into the paintings, applying pigments I've ground from stones Ive walked over, grinding charcoal from twigs I've collected and adding to oil paints, using these natural material brings nature into the painting in a tangible form. I often work outside, directly from my surroundings to express a sense of place, the feeling of the landscape and our own relationship to it more than a simple visual representation.'
