Penny Ryan
Penny left the big smoke (the one with the fancy pants harbour) with her husband, two rambunctious boys and the loveliest rescue dog PoppyGirl for Castlemaine.
Until COVID restrictions derailed most things, Penny could be found locally, in Melbourne and Sydney, creating beautiful portraits for families, couples, artists and businesses.
COVID hasn’t diminished Penny’s love of and addiction to striped tops, cups of tea in fine china or serving a little bit of bread with delicious salted butter – some things are hard to stop.
Penny has taught basic photography with community-based creative projects with the not-for-profit organisation With Camera in Hand.
She recently ran a workshop focused on women showing resilience through COVID, with a photography exhibition built around the five ways to well-being.
