Penny lives and works in Yadkinville,NC. Yadkinville is a small rural community in the foothills of North Carolina. Her family has always been very supportive of her art. She has a wonderful husband and two children(who are both married)and three grandchildren.

Penny’s artwork is reflective of the rural lifestyle of her community. She works in oils and with pencil and charcoal. “My art is one of the things in my life that I know that I can believe in and trust without the enormous demands that surrounds my daily life. It has not been easy and I have had a lot of failures in my endeavors to reach my goal of being known as an “ARTIST”.”
Penny states that one of her biggest hurdles has been her obsession for perfection in her paintings and drawings. Penny has a way of incorporating realism with touches of the way things are imagined.
Her greatest accomplishment thus far in her career was being asked by The United Way of Yadkinville to do a painting for them. Each year they choose an artist to donate a picture for limited edition prints. Table of Harmony was the picture that was chosen.

You can see Penny’s other work on her website.

Artist�s Statement
In my work I use the image of my body and my face to reflect ideas/feelings about the world, on the sufferings and pain people have to go through for no other reason then greed. My figures seem remote, withdrawn from time and space, closed onto themselves in an uneasy and disturbing pose. I love the aesthetics of a body in pain, as if it is a sign language trying to communicate without the need of any spoken words. Coming from a graphic design background I like symbols, logos, economical ways of story telling and traditional eastern shadow theatre which especially shows its influence in some of my vinyl works. I am not an optimist but there is still some hope deep down somewhere in my heart, sometimes causing clashes.
I use the computer as my drawing and painting tool. It allows me great flexibility to adjust my work to the needs of the exhibition space. I also experiment with different material like alginate, plaster, vinyl, digital print combined with traditional printmaking, painting, etc.

Naci� en Buenos Aires, Argentina, el 25 de noviembre de 1931.

A los once a�os comenz� sus estudios de dibujo con el disc�pulo del pintor espa�ol Joaqu�n Sorolla y Bastida, Jos� Soriano Torrej�n, de quien fue asistente de restauraci�n para la embajada espa�ola desde esta temprana edad.

A los trece a�os ingres� en la Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes.

Posteriormente su relaci�n con los maestros Juan C. Castagnino, Miguel C. Victorica, Lino E. Spilimbergo, Emilio Pettoruti y Lucio Fontana, madur� su concepci�n personal de las formas en el espacio.

En Europa ahonda en el conocimiento de los grandes maestros antiguos y contempor�neos. Un complejo dominio t�cnico es el resultado de su persistente labor en la conquista de un lenguaje singular que lo identifica y distingue.

La luz juega un papel preponderante en el juego metaf�rico de las im�genes de resonancias po�ticas y musicales determinadas por m�ltiples estructuras. Su potente manejo de los contrastes unido a una sutil elaboraci�n de las transparencias, �ntimamente entrelazado con su peculiar cromatismo hacen de este maestro un aut�ntico mago en el manejo de los medios pl�sticos y expresivos.

Las importantes muestras que ha realizado en el exterior le han brindado reconocimiento internacional, habiendo sido invitado por la Soci�t� Nationale des Beaux Arts a participar en 2001 en el Sal�n Internacional realizado en la Sala Le N�tre del Museo del Louvre. Realiza m�s de medio centenar de muestras individuales en destacadas salas de Latinoam�rica, Estados Unidos y Europa gracias a su prol�fica labor. Est� representado en importantes colecciones particulares y museos nacionales e internacionales, en Espa�a, Francia, Holanda e Israel, en Uruguay, y en Brasil, Museo de Arte Moderno R�o de Janeiro y Colecci�n A. Bloch; y en EE.UU., Samuel T. Pees Museum, Nueva York, Nueva Jersey, Florida.

Su obra ha sido estudiada por destacados cr�ticos e historiadores de arte, en Argentina, Eduardo Baliari, Le�n Benar�s, Angel Bonomini, Romualdo Brughetti, H�ctor Cartier, Osiris Chi�rico, Jorge Feinsilber, Aldo Galli, Mario Gilardoni, C�sar Magrini; Uruguay: �ngela C�ceres, Daniel �lvarez, Mar�a Rosa Atella, IIdefonso Beceiro, Elisa Roubaud, Eduardo Vernazza; Brasil: H�lio Carneiro, Jesualdo Correia; EE.UU.: Gary Wykoff.

La pintura de Kancepolski no se detiene en la conformaci�n de un idioma localista. Sus obras, fundamentadas en los amplios espacios de lo universal y permanente, recrean un lenguaje visual que nos aproxima al infinito.
