penny says

her super power is making people feel relaxed and her favourite human is her dog poppygirl

Penny left the big smoke (the one with the fancy pants harbour) with her husbando, two rambunctious boys and the loveliest rescue dog PoppyGirl for Castlemaine. Until COVID restrictions derailed most things Penny could be found locally, in Melbourne and in Sydney creating beautiful portraits for families, couples, artists and businesses. COVID hasn’t diminished Penny’s love of and addiction to striped tops, cups of tea in fine china or serving a little bit of bread with delicious salted butter - some things are hard to stop.
