Jessica Marie Penney- Artist

Jessica Penney is a figurative artist whose work teeters between abstraction and representation. Her practice explores how we navigate emotion through use of form, gesture & repetition. Her work invites reflection, using ambiguity and movement to evoke the complexity of human experience.
Jessica studied at Ontario College of Art and Design, as well as L’École des Beaux Arts de St. Etienne, in France. She lives and works in Cambridge, Ontario with her husband Stephen, and their two very active boys.
