Penny Frith is a landscape artist working from her home studio in Impington, Cambridge. She completed an art foundation course at CCAT in Cambridge before graduating with a degree in Graphic Design in 1991. Based in London, Penny enjoyed a career in film animation including winning first prize at the Nimes film festival for her animated film “Surface”, which was featured on the BBC’s Animation Now series. On returning to Cambridge she rediscovered her love of oil painting when she joined Tom McPherson’s Cambridge Art workshop. Penny draws inspiration from her travels to the coastlines and landscapes of the UK. The vista and skies in Penny’s work all start from somewhere she’s been, but the abstract nature captures something emotional rather than figurative, evoking the feeling of somewhere known and loved. Penny recently exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.

The Own Art Scheme is an interest-free loan scheme set up by the Arts Council that is designed to make it affordable for everyone to buy original, high quality contemporary art and craft by letting you spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months.
You can choose any work with a retail price between £250 and £25,000 from our great selection of prints, paintings, ceramics, sculpture, glass and wood. It is not possible to buy gift vouchers with the Own Art Scheme.
You can borrow from as little as £250 up to a maximum of £25,000 . We then spread the cost of your purchase over 10 months with an interest free loan. For instance, if you buy a painting from us that costs £300 through the own art scheme, you would pay £30 in 10 monthly installments.
