Pen’s artistic vision of the natural world is masterfully conveyed through her work. Her intricate use of lines, color, and form reflects the unique beauty of each subject, regardless of its size or grandeur. By capturing the grace, attitude, and nuances of each subject, Pen’s work allows viewers to experience a heightened awareness and appreciation for the world of nature.
Pen studied art at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri. She married Padraic Brady, and worked together in graphic design while raising their daughters. They moved to southern Missouri in 1996 and began working at Chase Studios, fabricating natural history exhibits for museums worldwide. Pen honed her attention to detail by creating botanical and vertebrate models. This work not only furthered her knowledge of the natural world but helped her develop patience and focus on small details. It was during this time, using linear and spacial components, that her distinctive style began to emerge.
