About Me

Craig Penny Paintings
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
ARTIST STATEMENT: I like to think that to paint a successful painting is not so much to have tamed the beast, rather to have been taken along for the ride and still be there at the end of the experience. For me painting is like parenting .... giving yourself enough skill, knowledge and integrity and then letting yourself free to take what is thrown your way. You don't need to tame and control it for magic to happen... you just need to be there at the end. Email: cpenny@netlink.com.au PH/FAX: 03 9587 0474 Mobile: 0413 316 299

CRAIG PENNY
Born in Mildura, Victoria in 1961, Craig showed an interest in art and drawing at a very young age. In 1970, his family moved to the Western District of Victoria.
His love of art saw him enrol in the art course at Hamilton Technical School in 1976. At the age of 16 his artistic interests extended into ceramics and sculpture, and he constructed several wood fired kilns in his parentsÕ backyard.
Craig studied art at the Ballarat College of Advanced Education, now Ballarat University, where painting and graphic design attracted most of his attention. He found his strongest influence was by master illustrator and artist, Dougal Ramsey. Craig pursued a career as an illustrator in the advertising industry and became a member of the Illustrators Association of Australia. In the early 1990Õs, Craig studied at night school in computer graphics. In the mid 1990Õs, he was approached by Victoria University and Swinburne University to teach in both drawing and illustration.
Having obtained the skills in digital graphics, Craig however, rediscovered his love of painting and the use of traditional methods.
In 2001, Craig had his first major solo exhibition at Manyung Gallery in Mt Eliza, Victoria. His solo exhibitions now total ten. He works in Watercolour and Acrylic.
