"Penny is an incredible artist. She set up shop at one of our work events and was a huge hit! At the YMCA, we serve customers of all ages. By the end of the day, Penny had drawn a 1 year old and an 81 year old. Her drawings highlight your best features. I highly recommend booking Penny's Playful Portraits.

Mixed Media Pet Commissions
Animals are near and dear to my heart and life just wouldn't not be the same without the pets that I call "family". My style of mixed media painting lends itself to celebrating the colorful energy that our pets have brought into our lives. If you think so too, please get in touch with me about painting your favorite pet(s).
Commissions begin at $150.
Art Classes for Kids
Currently, I teach beginning and advanced caricature classes on Outschool.com for learners aged 9-14. $15-18 per 1 hour class. Once they take the beginning class, if they enjoy it and want to improve, I hold a weekly class where we hone in on different aspects of caricature, learn from other cariature artist's styles, etc.
My new class, "Drawing & Painting a Dog Caricature" is now available on Outschool as well.
June/July: Summer Break. Expect a reduced scchedule. I return in August!
