GLORIOUS TEA CUPS















Joël Penkman grew up in New ZeaIand and moved to the United Kingdom in 2003 after graduating in fine arts at Canterbury University, Christchurch. She also works as a graphic designer and this has influenced her pieces which are often graphic and meticulous. Much of her work is painted using egg tempera, a medium that requires particular patience and planning. She is interested in finding and celebrating the beauty in the detail of everyday life. I think these tea cups are just fantastic and she is always in search of new ones to paint. Joel hopes to eventually paint a hundred different tea cups!! I think in her honour I will put the kettle on. Good to be back on my blog.
