Penelope Fulljames

Biography

I am now painting the wild places that I have visited throughout my life. Each one is another journey transporting me as I play with colour, shapes and textures. I use oils over acrylic or oil washes, or gold leaf. I paint from sketches and memory. I watch pictures moving and still to help with the recall. I studied in Uk and Italy and then embarked on a nomadic life, settling after 8 years for the sake of my daughters! We chose Spain! Started making a living from painting selling in Spain, then London ...at first with the Portal Gallery, off Bond Street. After 2 Solo exhibitions I began to sell with Christies in their Wild Life Sales. Those works are in collections worldwide. Now I mostly live in UK and sell here and there...... I especially like to paint paintings over 120 cm or more. I have started using pastels and find it very exhilarating.
