Born in Ireland, Colin Pennock came to Australia as a young child. He has since lived and worked in Ireland, Australia, London and New York. He came to painting and drawing from unlikely beginnings as a Police Constable in Northern Ireland, sketching whilst on duty in the height of the Troubles. These sketch books earned him a four year scholarship to St Martins School Of Art in London from 1985-89, where he achieved a BA Hons Fine Art, Painting.Currently based in the Noosa Hinterland rainforest in Queensland, Pennock’s distinctive abstract landscapes draw on his extensive knowledge of technique with textural applications from thick impasto to delicate glazing. His uniquely original style was born from the desire to be immersed in nature and find harmony after turbulent past experience.
