Penny German is an artist from Northamptonshire.   For many years she specialized in botanical illustration in watercolour, working on projects for the RHS and Oxford University Press.

Ten years ago she discovered a love of oil painting and has since been working on capturing the effects of light in still lifes and portraits.

Having spent eight years painting a small still-life oil sketch on a daily basis, she continues to examine the effects of light on objects albeit more often now in larger still life works and also in plein-air work.
