About the artist:
Penny’s work is a fusion of her studies and lived experience in textiles, art and design. She has worked as an artist and designer all her life, alongside the practise of working in and with nature.
Penny has been exhibiting her work, and running workshops in Sydney and regional NSW for the last 12 years. She is an executive member of the TVS and has been running workshops with them @ Bridge and Greenway Public Housing Communities.
Her artworks come from a place of reciprocity with the earth and through her practice/work she aims to restore, reconnect and heal through connection with nature and the practise of “making with hands”.
She was one of the founding partners of “Cloth”, a Sydney based bespoke textile business begun in the 1990s. Prior to this Penny gained a BA hons. in Textiles from Winchester School of Art, England
About the Coal Loader Artists Studio:
This dedicated space is part of North Sydney Council's Creative Spaces Program and specifically supports artists and creatives with a community-focused and socially-engaged interest in sustainability and the environment to develop their practice over a 12-month, fully subsidised residency.
