Penelope's work explores the nature of what is seen and unseen. What we expose of ourselves and what we conceal. It explores the paradox of a full picture.

Her creative process involves working over initial grounds, often applying several layers to guide the picture towards its final manifestation. As she starts, each layer reveals or conceals, telling a story in fragments. These layers invite curiosity of what is hiding behind them – what is the full picture? They are often bright, playful or just bursting through, waiting to be acknowledged. Penelope thinks of them as meaningful interventions. She likes my work to feel like it is a moving story, organic and growing.

Professionally, Penelope has worked as a designer for many years and hold an MA in Design Studies from Central St Martins in London. She has exhibited in London and New York.
