PENNY HARDY www.pennyhardysculpture.com
Penny has been creating figurative sculptures for nearly 3 decades, having originally trained as a Scientific Illustrator. Her early illustrative work was for the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew where she provided drawings and paintings for their external interpretation boards throughout the gardens.
Whilst working as a botanic illustrator she was intrigued and fascinated by the beautiful structures that nature instinctively uses to survive in their many challenging environments and this lead to an enduring love of architecture that was inspired by these natural forms. She explored many different techniques and ideas to create figurative sculptures that had the same strength and poised energy that she saw in her surroundings, always striving to convey a sense of physical or emotional movement between states.
Penny’s sculptures have been placed in private collections throughout Europe and the US and as far as Australia and South Africa.
