Born in Braintree in Essex in 1981, Penelope Rose was educated at Colbayns High School before studying Art and Design at Colchester Institute gaining a distinction in her advanced BTEC course.

She then studied at Cardiff School of Art (Howard Gardens) gaining a 2.1 degree in Fine Art.

She has a PGCE in further education from Newport Univeristy.

Penelope now lives in Cardiff with her daughter and partner David.

Penelope says “I am influenced by colours and Maria Shindler’s ideas on colour form and composition”

“My abstracts and Landscapes are inspired by nature and asymmetrical dimensions as a response to the idea of the Golden Ratio: natures magic irrational fraction number called ‘Phi’. To me it means infinity and the endless possibilities of creative responses, a freedom of expression where I feel I am nature and nothing can be incorrect.”
