About Penny
Penny Verdich is a contemporary artist from Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Inspiration for her abstract landscape paintings is taken from landscapes both close to home and further afield.’ My vibrant abstract paintings capture the energy and beauty of the natural environment.’
‘Painting from nature is not copying the object; it is realising one’s sensations’ Paul Cezanne
‘Drawing and painting on location is central to my practice, providing the foundation for work completed in my home studio. I seek to create a feeling of place through colour, tone, line and shape, drawing the viewer into the work and offering them a sense of the landscape that has so stirred my imagination.’
