Jenny Penney Artist
Where you can see my work now!
TO BE ANNOUNCED SHORTLY
I moved into my new studio at the end of December 2024 and I have been spending my time generally decorating, which means painting ( I'm 'All White'!) and hanging. I am approaching April and just before then I hope to announce the opening of my new venture near to Bridport. I miss my attic studio in Bridport where I was for a year and 8 months and where there was a great throng of very talented artists and crafts people and a wonderful venue for locals and visitors alike. But time makes changes and we take these challenges in hand. So I am trying to be very patient!
Please browsed my Relief Sculpted Landscapes and drawings. You may consider asking me to do a commission of your favourite scene. I am also trying out some new products as a result of my art. Please have a look at my Gift section and Bathroom/Kitchen products to bring a uniqueness to your presents and home.

EXHIBITIONS AND EVENTS IN 2024
25th April - 8th May 2025 DORSET IN COLOUR - An art exhibition by 4 local artists Jenny Penney, Christine Tucker and Rupert Andrews in Card, acrylic, clay and felt.
10am - 4.30pm daily Eype Church, Mount Lane, Eype, Dorset DT6 6AR
Dorset in Colour is an exhibition by 4 local artists, Jenny Penney, Caroline Tucker, Rupert Andrews and Clare Hughes working in complex media. Each creates their own unique finish, inspired by the land and sea of this beautiful county. The individuals have developed their own personal “mode of colour, texture and shapes” created through manipulating acrylic, card, clay or felt. The results are bright, energetic and colourful offering a delightful and thought provoking exhibition.
Jenny uses a scalpel to manipulate texture and develop layers, creating Dorset's landscapes or birds into very unusual and eye catching 'Relief' art work. Caroline has a background in textile design and this can be seen in her colourful floral and textural acrylic painting inspired by the countryside.
Rupert makes a beautiful range of wheel thrown and slab built ceramics. He has spent 30 years perfecting his unique sealed and colourful crackle glaze. Clare is fascinated by the natural world and uses her personal heritage of technical drawing and engineering to create absorbing felt works in fine detail.
If you would like to meet one of the artists when you come, you will be able to plan your visit soon. A small table showing demonstration days will be pasted here for your information. Please check this site nearer the time.
