Penny began to paint at a very early age and indeed was highly commended for her work by the Royal Drawing Society - The Children's Royal Academy, London, when only 12 years old. Despite the protests of her art teachers she did not continue in her art studies after leaving school but pursued various careers in the city of London and finally in teaching after graduating in 1984 with a degree in Theology from Oxford.

However, Penny continued to paint, even when heading a Religious Studies Department and raising two children. Finally after beginning a degree in Fine Art in the late 1990's she became a full time artist in 2001.

Penny, whose unique oil paintings are increasingly sought after, paints with a maximum of spontaneity and energetic expression. This involves risks and accidents, but Penny works in partnership with the oil paint to forge a new vibrant image out of a familiar well-known form.
