Penny Prileszky
Mixed Media Artist
Originally trained in Graphic Design and Illustration at Newcastle Polytechnic, Penny later deepened her artistic practice with a Fine Art Painting degree from Carmarthen School of Art, graduating in 2002. After two decades balancing teaching with her creative career, she has now fully dedicated herself to her practice, appreciating the correlation between creativity and contentment.
Penny’s work is characterised by richly layered hues, geometric abstraction, and a tactile fusion of mixed media and stitchwork. She describes her process as ‘purposeful play’—an intuitive dance between structure and spontaneity. Translucent washes of colour interact with precise, stitched patterns, creating a dynamic contrast between fluidity and order, control and release.
The pieces offer a space of serenity and reflection, where light, colour, and texture come together to create a sense of quiet contemplation— a sanctuary in both process and form.
