Graphic Design - Artist - Jeremy Penn

New York City native and award-winning artist Jeremy Penn has been immersed in the world of fine arts since childhood: He enrolled in art school at age five, choosing salvaged wood, lace paper, and concentrated watercolors rather than the more traditional construction paper and tempera paints. A graduate of both the University of Maryland and the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y. with degrees in Fine Arts, Penn’s recent exhibits include The Phillips Collection, which has exhibited his work worldwide, and the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum in Woodstock, N.Y. His works are also prized by Sheikh Mohammed, the Crown Prince of Dubai. Recently, Penn was honored with First Prize, Best Designs of 2009 by Design & Design for two of his paintings. He also received an Honorable Mention for recent works from the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum, juried by Doug Alderfer. Penn regularly works in encaustics, building up countless layers of encaustic paint, each color layered carefully on top of one another, then strategically scraped away to create a sculpture-like detailed work of art. Currently, Penn is building an exclusive collection of paintings. In addition, he is committed to giving back to the arts by teaching the therapeutic properties in art. Penn is a member of the International Encaustic Artists Association, Woodstock Artists Association, Woodstock Byrdcliffe Artists Guild, and the Young Home Furnishing Professionals. His work has been featured in Design & Design, Home Fashion, and Accessory Merchandising magazines. According to Home Fashion Magazine, Penn is a “creator of stunning . . . art, . . . known for working with unique materials while constructing color combinations intended to elicit deep emotions.”
