Penelope Peck | Jewelry and Mixed Media
Penelope received a BFA in Advertising Design/Illustration from Kent State University, 1966. She owned her own advertising design and illustration studio for a few years before joining her largest client’s public relations firm as a graphic designer in 1970. From there, Penelope partnered with a colleague to create Ampersand, a small marketing/graphic design firm specializing in financial clients. After selling her share of that business to her partner, Penelope went back to school to study ceramics, eventually moving on to working in glass for several years.

New Century Art Gallery asked artist Shawn Smith, “What influence does modern culture have on your work?”.
"I’d like to think that modern culture has a direct influence on my art. However, I think it’s more nuanced. I tend to create art as a way to escape the comings and goings of everyday life. Until just recently, I’ve come to the realization that my abstract pieces are really landscapes in disguise. A longing to be somewhere else entirely.
With that said… Modern culture, by way of Music, Cinema, Art, and Photography, has always triggered an artistic response within me. Usually pulling up an idea like an ancient file cabinet full of dusty old feelings and memories. The fun part is converting that idea into something physical and real."-Shawn Smith
