Penniman Lanzerote, Canary Islands, Spain
I am always inspired our natural world and hope my artistry will do that for others. When painting quietly, I love how nature comes alive. The same thing happens with people as my art making provides me with a deeper integration allowing for a more authentic cross-cultural experience. People are interested in the creative process.
I like seeing how my interpretation of a location, my skills, and my emotions are manifested in art. It is magical and beyond my understanding. The time I am connected to nature is deeply personal and I enjoy sharing that part of myself through my art. My idealized landscapes engage the viewer to inhabit them and bring them serenity.
Penniman was a well-known plein air watercolorist who taught him at an early age how to use a brush to interpret the world.
Ed was born in the artistic community of Santa Cruz, California. Following his early education from his grandmother, he earned his degree in fine arts from Chouinard Art School of California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles. His talent caught the attention of Carson-Roberts Advertising (Ogilvy-Mather), While there he was an art director for Mattel Toys, BaskinRobbins, Revlon, Janzen Sporswear, and other national brands.

Statement
Ed
Imagination is like going on a trip through a world of possibilities. It’s the very core of creativity. It’s only with an imagination that people’s minds can take flight and look at possibilities — and then make them happen.
