Artist Statement

Penny Hundley

My first introduction to art came in the house where I grew up; it was a Wassily Kandinsky “Composition” that had been on the wall when my father bought the house. It fascinated me and I would lie on the couch for hours studying it.

Art never fit into my schedule in high school or college. Passing art rooms with window sills lined with jars of paint brushes and walls covered with drawings and paintings created a desire that was not fulfilled until years later. Finally I realized that my love of color needed to be expressed, so I made a commitment to daily artistic endeavors.

I have since donated paintings to various causes and fundraisers, been a juried artist in fairs and shows, become a juried member of the Louisville Artisans Guild, and a member of KORE Gallery in Louisville Kentucky. My work can be found in homes across the United States and in Canada.

Art is all around us if we are aware. . . Colors, shapes, patterns, repetition, moods. My pieces are not planned, they emerge and evolve with an energy of their own. I am merely a willing and enthusiastic conduit.
