Penny Hunt
Penny is always drawn to water, painting directly by the side of waterfalls or on the shoreline inspired by texture and atmosphere. The roadside verges this year have also been a huge inspiration, wildlife corridors crossing the countryside and so important to our biodiversity. Back in the studio these are worked into printing plates from memories and sketches, never photographs which remove the immediacy of the feel of the place. Her Fine Art degree, MA and many years teaching helped develop her paintings and printmaking, each material feeds back into the other, the layering, overprinting and intaglio techniques always present.
