Ed Penniman Lanzerote, Canary Islands, Spain

Statement

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.

Legacy

In most artists’ lives, there will be one family member who inspired them.

For California artist Ed Penniman, it was his grandmother. Leonora N.

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. He was a graphic designer for Robert Miles Runyan in Beverly Hills. His exceptional graphic design has won many awards for corporate identity, packaging, collateral materials, and trade advertising. He has received a Gold Medal from The American Institute of Graphic Arts.

His work was honored in the esteemed Communication Arts magazine, which did a feature article about Ed. Examples of his work have been published in the U.S., Europe, and Japan. He is the designer of the official Santa Cruz County flag.

Ed has participated in the Arts Council of Santa Cruz County’s Open Studios tour for 25 years.

He serves as the guest curator for the Santa Cruz Art League’s Annual Statewide Landscape Exhibition, which was started in 1926 by his grandmother and several of her painting colleagues.

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.
