Jackie Penner
Western life in its variety holds a special fascination for Jackie Penner. Her paintings reflect the strength of her feelings for the horses, wildlife, people and landscape of the true west.
Penner is a self-taught oil painter and draws her inspiration from the wonderful wildlife and domestic animals that she lives around. Living on a farm for fifty-seven years with her husband has given her the opportunity to raise two children and live the life she loves, which has inspired many paintings through the years. Her love of horses is reflected on many of her canvases. Her husband's family raised and worked with Belgian horses, giving her ready-made subjects that she couldn’t resist transferring to canvas.
Penner has taken the opportunity to strengthen her talent by taking workshops with master artists, such as Robert Thomas, Robert Walton, Terry Isaac, Daniel Smith, Paco Young, John Banovich and John Seerey- Lester.
She is an Emeritus member of Women Artists of the West, where she had the past honor of serving as Ad Director and President.
