Penny’s art is born out of a personal desire to travel and explore and her work aims to capture the essence of island life and the serene rhythm of nature. 

The overall mood of her paintings - calm, reflective, and intimate, reflect her desire to capture a moment of stillness and connection, inviting viewers to pause and appreciate the beauty in simplicity.

Her use of harmonious colour combinations, vibrant greens and earthy tones mirrors her desire to transport viewers to a tranquil, natural world, a recurring theme in her work that resonates with her coastal surroundings and her yearning for peaceful, tropical escapes.

She is influenced by the concept of stripping a scene down to its essentials to evoke a sense of calm and clarity, capturing a moment of stillness in a busy world.
