Artist & Art Educator
Penny hails from Honeymoon Bay on the wooded shores of Cowichan Lake. Frequenting her grandparents’ home studio and store, Whales’ Arts and Ceramics, in Victoria BC, Penny’s aptitude emerged. With art media galore at hand, Penny was happiest with nothing more than pencil and paper.
“The immediacy of drawing and love of linework drive my passion. The best drawings look drawn. They show authenticity and the raw human aspect. Drawing is the greatest learning opportunity art has to offer and the necessary beginning of everything art.”
Adamantly self-taught, Penny delights in rendering soulful portraits of beloved pets. She is intrigued by the similarities between humans and other animals. The differences humble her deeply.
Penny shares her passion with the world through her YouTube Channel, CrazyCatArtist. Her in-person workshops include dogs and other critters too. Penny’s intention is to meet each student exactly where they are and help them expand their practice in their own meaningful way.
Penny is a lifelong nature-lover, avid gardener, and advocate for the earth. She is devoted to rescuing special needs cats. Learn more about Penny’s art and teaching through her website at pennyboden.ca
