Penelope Wood Artist Artisan Designer
My inspiration for these unique sculptures evolves from found items of native flora or driftwood. I find nature's gracious curves inspire images of rhythm for me. Emotions in regard to life events have also influence my works, hence titles like 'Bird of elation'. Perhaps my earliest memory as a child in the garden watching the play of sunlight enhance nature's beauty has been of influence combined with a life time career in design and visual communication. Working as a designer, I enjoyed the challenge of creating simple, iconic shapes of grace as logo designs. This has come to be an advantage as an artisan, combined with individuality and an intuitive way of working. Following a creative family upbringing in Clontarf, Sydney, I went on to study at the National Art School in latter 60’s. Since that time I've enjoyed an extensive career of creativity working in London and Sydney as a graphic designer, design director and lecturer. Late 2001 I ventured to northern nsw to pursue natures inspiration and art. Since then I have exhibited in Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens and over twenty galleries along the east coast of Australia selling nationally and to international travellers. Penelope lives and works in Kiama nsw Australia. Art Sculpture works are showing at The Flying Pig Precinct Gallery Berry NSW .
