Artist Statement

I am a San Francisco Bay Area artist, designer, and educator. My painting is explorative, using a natural palette, with an affinity for the human figure as well as ancient signs and symbols. Visit my website at pennib.com. Currently I teach online at Stanford Continuing Studies: Art 50 - Calligraphy & Letterform and Art 53 - Calligraphy Design and Norse Runes. Over the past 25 years I've developed and taught art courses and workshops with Academy of Art University, San Francisco Center for the Book, and the Bay Area Friends of Calligraphy.
