Artist's Bio

Her pieces are inspired from her natural surroundings, from travels, especially years spent living in Okinawa, and from the many human situations in which she has found herself over the years. Penelope has studied bookbinding, printmaking and sculpture at workshops at the North Bennet Street School in Boston, Maine College of Art, University of Southern Maine and with local artists. She has also taught numerous workshops and was an artist in residence at Skowhegan Middle School in Skowhegan, Maine in the spring of 2007.
