PENELOPE WRIGHT

Born in 1946 Penelope studied commercial photography at the London School of Printing and Graphic Arts. She went on to work as a photographic printer and then became a portrait photographer for several years.
While bringing up her children in North Yorkshire she attended the Harrogate School of Art. On returning South she studied with the acclaimed art teacher Robin Child.
She is inspired by a number of artists including Degas, Cezanne, Matisse, Paul Klee and Nicolas de Stael. Through their work she has become fascinated by the geometry of the rectangle, the modulation of colour, abstraction and mark making.
