Artist’s Statement
Penelope is inspired by the beauty of nature and of the human spirit that surrounds us. The desire to express not purely the external beauty but that which lies beyond and within. Her love of languages too, primarily latin and her interests in classical studies reflects also in the timeless quality of her paintings and art.
“To any artist, worthy of the name, all in nature is beautiful, because his eyes, fearlessly accepting all exterior truth, read there, as in an open book, all the inner truth.”
Quote from Auguste Rodin

Member of The Energy Art Movement
