Pennie Pomroy

Based in Sydney, Pennie Pomroy has studied both internationally and in Australia, completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts (painting) at the National Art School in 2003. She works across a variety of media, exhibiting locally and Nationally.

Pennie’s artworks explore what is often lost in adult life: a vivid sense of imagination and whimsy. Juxtaposing fantasy with the everyday, her sumptuous paintings are reminiscent of the inspired nonsense of Alice in Wonderland, evoking an uninhibited expression of youthful exuberance.
