Penelope Moore, Painter and Modern Day Vagabond
Giving up everything to concentrate on art, Artist Penelope Moore has been traveling the country with her artist boyfriend, Aaron Memmott, on a extended painting expedition.
Trading artwork to stay in vacation rentals and second homes (upscale condos to chic apartments), the couple has spent six weeks in Wine Country, two weeks at a rustic hillside retreat in Albuquerque, three months nestled in a luxurious Utah mountain hideaway and soon; a cottage surrounded by vineyards - in the South of France.
I work primarily with two styles; the Day of the dead, or Dia de los Muertos, uses the skeleton or calavera. I contemporize the style and size, adjust the theme of the piece and come up with modern versions. The other form I work in is the Santos (Saints) art form, sometime better know as devotional art.
