About the Item

Penny Whent (American, born 1949) "Pacific Grove Dunes" 2024 Acrylic Paint, Canvas, Stretcher Bars The artist signed the bottom right of the painting. Penny Whent captures the quiet drama of the Monterey coastline with a painterly blend of texture and color. Waves of wildflowers in pink, lavender, and cream ripple across the dunes, softening the rugged landscape as they lead toward the ocean’s deep blue horizon. The scene feels both intimate and expansive, balancing the delicacy of blossoms with the vastness of sea and sky. Whent transforms a fleeting coastal view into a timeless reflection of place and season. About the Artist: Penny’s artistic journey began in childhood, influenced by her architect‑photographer father in Pacific Grove. Penny is largely self-taught, having explored block printing, watercolor, photography, and drawing before embracing painting. Her art, once a part‑time practice during her years as a paralegal, now flourishes full‑time in her Monterey home studio. Penny translates the landscapes of the Monterey Peninsula, Lake Tahoe, and the Sierra Nevada foothills into post and abstract impressionist canvases that glow with emotive color and expressive still lifes. Her work has been featured in numerous galleries throughout the Monterey Bay area, including Carmel, Pacific Grove, and Big Sur.
