Betty Penny is a Windsor-based multimedia artist whose work blends vibrant color, expressive, Mark making digital creation, recycled materials-and the written word.. Her otion, and lived experience into visual stories that feel intimate, textured, and alive.

Guided by curiosity, resilience, and a deep appreciation for the beauty found in everyday moments, Betty creates pieces that often begin with a feeling, a fragment of a story, or an object with history. Through paint, drawing, collage, digital layering, and found materials, she brings together the ordinary and the extraordinary in ways that honour identity, healing, nostalgia, and the quiet strength of the human spirit.

A brain injury survivor, former award-winning entrepreneur, mentor, and published author, Betty channels her lived experience into artwork that invites viewers to slow down, and to feel the experiences that deeply connect you to her abstracts and multimedia works of art.
