Thomas Pennick is a London based artist that specialises in printmaking and sculpture. He graduated from City and Guilds of London Art School where he discovered an obsession with traditional art making processes. Pennick's practice engages with Printmaking, Metal work, Life Drawing and Modelling, Photography, and Historical Stone Carving.
The work follows a theme of nature, heavily influenced by photographs and sketches created during his time spent in Africa and by exposure to conservation organisations that he worked with there.
Conservation is key to the survival of many species of plants and animals across the world. Pennick's work aims to address the many environmental problems and threats that he experienced in Africa, at home in England, and globally, as well as attempting to capture our planets natural beauty.
