that are enjoyed throughout the Port Warwick community!

Pene talks about her work...
"Painting is for me, very much like raising children; some of them are a pure joy and they don’t surprise me when they work so well. Others,
the more difficult ones, often give me headaches and don’t go quite in the direction I planned for them... but I have often been amazed how these “difficult” paintings (& children?) touch certain people – almost as if they were created just for them! Consequently, I try not to judge – I trust the work to tell me when it is finished and ready to go out in the world… even when I don’t agree at all! But, just as each of my children has found their purpose - often despite me - I believe that each of my paintings will find their place as long as I trust."
