About Penny
Penny Davenport (b. 1979, Inverness; UK) is a visual artist based in Liverpool, who received her BA from Liverpool John Moores University (2002). Penny’s depictions of anthropomorphic animal characters and daydreamed landscapes explore the psychological nuances of bodily experience and complexities of interpersonal relationships. The figures that appear in Davenport’s compositions are decidedly non-human, yet perform human traits: they stand on two feet, they often cluster together holding hands, and they gaze out at the viewer with eyes that suggest feelings of empathy and understanding.
