Hello! I’m Mixy, or you might know me as Penn. I’m a mixed media and textile artist, an experimenter, idea magpie, and part womble.
Born and lived mostly on the outer outskirts of London, and little bits in Northern Cyprus. I spend most of my time in my imagination, a bright, colourful place populated with made up animals.
Over the years I’ve freelanced in graphic design, photography & photo editing, digital art & illustration. For a few years I made glass beadwork, jewellery and little textile things I sold at art & craft fairs.
In my 30s I took a foundation course in art & design and I fell in love with mixed media. It felt like coming home! I went on to get Distinction in Fine Art & Design HND.
The Eye logo is taken from a still of the video installation I made for my degree show at college. (Yes, it is my eye!)

“Penn brings a beautiful mix of playful yet calming energy that allowed me to connect to myself and the others in the group on a deep level without all the seriousness.”
“Penn creates a space so filled with love and consideration. Her playful nature lends space to be creative and connect without holding back our true selves.”
“Penn captures the wisdom of the ages and delivers it with transforming grace and clarity. You will laugh like a child while simultaneously nodding A-ha! What a gift!”
“Penn has a way of holding space that immediately transports us into a realm of curious joy and vision. Her presence is welcoming and her guidance gentle and inspiring which opens up the free spirited child with and for me felt like coming home in my artist’s skin.”
