Penny Warden

Penny paints her images with a maximum of spontaneity and energetic expression. This sense of movement and vibrancy, which is Penny’s trademark, is especially evident in her oil paintings of ballet dancers. In 2004 as a ‘rising artist’, Penny was chosen to exhibit her work in St Paul’s Cathedral alongside Tracy Emin and other prominent artists, in an innovative and exciting national exhibition called “Presence: Images of Christianity for the Third Millennium.” In 2005 Penny was commissioned by Blackburn Cathedral for “a major project of national significance” consisting of the permanent display of fifteen 6ft figurative paintings based on the Stations of the Cross. Penny has exhibited and spoken about her work at Oxford University and has been part of several consultation groups at Windsor Castle on ‘Human Creativity in the Arts.’
