Penny Anderson
Photography, Painting
I am a self taught artist and creator. Having only very recently picked up the brush I have been developing my own style. I initially started my creative world with photography and graphics, however more recently, I have moved into painting. My passion is taking what is seen by the eye, capturing the beauty and moment and portraying this in my own vision. Painting is mainly with acrylics but I have also dabbled in oil.
