Em Penney showcases her artworks at Quetzal Stories of Change Exhibition on Wednesday 9th February 2022 at Quetzal building. Quetzal’s first exhibition features artists and organisations that explore the role of arts in supporting survivors of abuse.
One artist participating in the exhibition is Em Penney, a local artist, and survivor supported by Quetzal who will share her love for the sea and arts in the form of magnificent paintings set in our counselling rooms at Quetzal.
About Em Penney
Em Penney is a local playwright, digital artist, painter, actress, musician and survivor who received support from Quetzal.
She is a self-taught painter who has only recently gotten back into working on canvases after a lengthy absence. Thanks to Quetzal she was able to rediscover her love of using acrylic and once again feels connected to her art.
Emma has always had a love for the ocean and she hopes that it shows. From it’s calming nature, continual flow, home of amazing animals to it’s unpredictability and uncertainty, Emma has tried to convey these in her recent work shown here today. For her, there’s nothing quite like the ocean and she feels at her best when watching the surf and she feels that we have to do as much as we can to protect it.
