Interdisciplinary artist Penny Chivers Stanley is based in Wiltshire, England. She works from a studio in Parnella House, Devizes as a founder of White Horse Arts. Working in paint, drawing, film, text, photography and film, Penny blurs the boundaries between disciplines to explore themes of vulnerability.  Penny achieved a BA in Education and Art at Reading University, and went on to create art courses for teachers, create murals and workshops with children and fostered a love of the creative arts in many children as well as painting privately.

For the past 5 years Penny has devoted more time to her own practice. Further studies at Newlyn School of Art and an MA in Fine Art at Falmouth University has  resulted in work in varied mediums. Recent solo shows include VOWVAS exploring women’s relationships with their bodies,  and nurture of slow at Walcot Chapel Bath.

Penny's current work involves deep listening,  slowing as a resistant to dominant cultural structures, vulnerability and self awareness. Current reading linked to work: Tricia Hersey's Nap Ministry, Brene Brown, Carl Jung and Pauline Oliveros,
