About Our Art
Pen’s work gives the viewer a different perspective of wildlife. With an influence from the native art of the Pacific Northwest Coast, her paintings go past the point of realism to emphasize the grace and beauty of her subjects. Through a combination of precise line and shapes, the elements come together to present her own contemporary image of animals, plants, and insects that share our amazing world.
