Penny Corradine
Penny Corradine was born in Bristol, England and moved to Calgary in 1989. Penny studied art at California State University (Long Beach), and has attended many classes and workshops. In April of 1999, after attending a workshop given by Santa Fe artist Virginia Cobb, Penny, after 25 years of working representationally, took a new direction in her art: toward abstraction, in mixed media and acrylic on paper. Her zoomorphic work expresses her sincere interest in the mystery of nature and the connection we have with the land and its animals. Painting is her way of sharing a more inclusive view of the world around us and calling attention to our interactions.
Corradine, who paints under the name Penrod, has exhibited regionally in group shows. Solo exhibitions include Spirit Scapes, a show that ran in the provincial gallery at Blairmore, AB, in 2003; and Listening With Our Eyes: Encounters with Nature, that ran at the Leighton Centre in 2014. In 2008, she completed a public commission for ten free-hanging paintings for the Okotoks library.
Over the years, Corradine has completed murals in Somers Bay, Montana, and Norco, California, as well as in Calgary, Cardston, Pincher Creek, and Turner Valley, Alberta. Early Stampede Parade and International Seed Grain and Hay Exposition, commissioned by the Calgary Stampede in 1997, can be viewed on the North and East faces of the Corral Arena building in Calgary.
Corradine lives with her partner Bill Faulkner in Turner Valley, Alberta, where they run Wolfpack Studio, a communications and publishing business that provides services in writing, editing, graphic design and doubles as a gallery to display their art and photography.
