Painting by Pennie Brantley. Path to Knowledge (Palacio Nacional de Sintra, Portugal), 48 x 60 in.
A native of Caruthersville, Missouri, Pennie Brantley now lives and works in Boston and the Taconic Mountains of New York with her artist husband, Robert Morgan, following a three-year sojourn in Buenos Aires, Argentina. An art-study tour in the Soviet Union almost 40 years ago initiated her ongoing explorations of the world at large. She has worked as a graphic artist, illustrator, philosophy tutor, and gallery director. In organizing ARTcetera ’98, Boston’s AIDS Action Committee’s major exhibition and auction, she was instrumental in raising $600,000 for AIDS patients. Her work has been featured in over 70 articles and reviews in newspapers and magazines. She is also represented in numerous exhibition catalogs and has been interviewed for educational television. Brantley and her husband were featured in a 2010 documentary on Boston artists.
