Penny Webb - Resin Artist

I am an artist working in East Devon, UK. I exercise my passion for art by creating resin works that allow shape and form to emerge from the gravity and chemistry of inks, resins and other lotions and potions! My goal is to create conditions. and parameters within which the beauty and drama that I see have a chance to emerge. I assemble the ingredients and—drawing on years of experimentation—exercise a collaboration with chemistry to produce the art that emerges. If this sounds modest, it is because I am often surprised myself at the beauty that takes shape before my eyes. I'm an apprentice Alchemist in many ways.

I came to art relatively late despite belonging to a family that includes working artists and craftspeople. I felt an 'inner fire' that needed expression. A desire to bring into the world the interplay of light, nature and the eye. Light leaks across our vision: much as went looking through crashing waves or branches in a forest where subtle movement creates intense transient effects.

My early exhibitions gave me huge confidence with many of my works selling quickly - even to other artists. This confidence settled into an overarching happiness with my work. It is not a job - it is a privilege.

I take on commissions - when time permits! Sometimes people have seen one of my works and would like a variation of their own, with their own colour inspirations. Less frequently, I take on work to represent nature - landscapes and flowers brought to life with an abstract tinge . Each time I embark upon one, it gives me huge pleasure to see it take on a life of its own complementary to that I am representing.

All my unsold works are available as high quality prints. This option ceases as soon as the original art is sold.

I hope you enjoy my work. I love it and I hope that shines through.
