Penny Koburger
Artist Statement:
Watercolor and oils are my preferred mediums. I like to paint and draw a variety of everyday subject matter. Painting allows me to slow down and really contemplate a person, object, or “nature”. I continue to explore and experiment with how to express visual qualities. Light, color, and mood fascinate me. I attempt to create an emotional connection, rather than strive for total realism.

Artist Biography
I was born and raised in Virginia. I am now a painter living in the Upper Valley. I attended Carleton College where I took many studio arts classes. I went on to receive my doctorate in clinical psychology, which was my profession. I returned to painting more actively the last 20 years. I had an artist’s residency at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, Vermont in 2001. I have taught “Psychology of the Arts and the Artist at VCU (Virginia) and have given painting demonstrations at the Troy Art Guild, Bethlehem Art Association, and the Schenectady Art Association. I taught watercolor at the Capital District Arts Center in Troy, NY, art classes for homeschooled children grades 2nd through 11th grade, and watercolor for seniors. I have had many solo shows in Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York. I was president of the Bethlehem Art Association from 20098 to 2012. I am currently a member of Long River Gallery, AVA Gallery, and Center for the Arts in New London, NH.
