Penny Anderson

Photography, Painting
Facebook

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.

This reflects in Allan’s work being described as clinically accurate and precise, a point of difference seen in his Artwork.

Visitors to our studio have the opportunity to witness our skilled members crafting a diverse range of ceramic pieces. Our techniques include wheel-thrown forms, hand-building, slip casting and the art of printing images on to clay.
