Penny is a native of Bangkok, Thailand, and worked for the US Dept. of Defense. She came to Castle Air Force Base in 1987 with her husband and they stayed in Merced after the base closure.
While Penny works in all media, watercolor stands out as her favorite. For her, the process of creating is a remarkable escape and healing to the soul. Also also feels her art represents her on a personal level, speaking to the viewer and expressing who she is on the inside.
Penny has been with the gallery for 12 years.
