the ozark glades
and oak forests...
The sylvan backdrop surrounding her home provides Pen Brady with a sense of closeness to nature and a stimulus for her work. Many of the animals indigenous to this landscape, from tiny insects to regal mammals, have become the elegant subject in her distinctive paintings.
After attending Missouri Western State University in St.Joseph, Missouri, Pen has worked as a graphic designer, a botanical and zoological model builder, as well as pursuing her career as a fine artist. Developing an interest in the art of the Pacific Northwest Coast, she began experimenting with the imagery and structure of that genre. Her work soon metamorphosed beyond the traditional style to a unique personal perspective. Her work has appeared in several publications and has been displayed in galleries and shows in New Mexico, Illinois, Arkansas, and Missouri. Exhibitions and shows include: The Josh Mitchell Gallery, 2006 (Single Artist Exhibition) Sleepy Creek Vineyards, 2006 Hawthorn Fine Art Gallery, 2007 Springfield Art Fest, 2008 Pinnacle Hill Art Festival, 2008, 2009 (First Place in 2 Dimensional Art, 2008) Quicksilver Art Gallery, 2009 (Featured Artist) Pen lives in Southwest Missouri with her husband, Padraic, and daughters, Caitlin and Savannah.
