Biography Presently living in a 75 year old farmhouse in rural Manitoba, Kim spends her days researching, painting, and raising a family. This well accomplished artist was raised in Morden, Manitoba, and graduated from the University of Manitoba with degrees in Fine Arts & Education. The road to her artistic career began early in life, with a great deal of support from her parents, who would enter her renderings in local fairs and art festivals. Further encouragement from teachers and peers, along with a passion for both horses and painting all contributed to Kim Penner's ultimate decision to follow the path that seemed pre-ordained for her. Penner is passionate about portraying both the natural beauty of horses, and that of the landscapes & environments that these gracious animals occupy, both domestically & in the wild. Research for her paintings takes her far & wide, from the rolling hills of Kentucky, to the breathtaking beauty of the Rocky Mountains. With five horses currently residing at the farm, and a daughter whose equestrian passions match her mothers (she shows her horse from spring to fall), there is never a lack of inspiration for this talented artist! Kim Penner's work has been enthusiastically received by collectors from around the world. Her paintings have been featured in publications such as Horse & Rider, The Paint Horse Journal , US Art, and the Collector Edition of New York. Penner was awarded the "Best New Artist" at the 1997 Calgary Exhibition & Stampede Western Art Auction. This was followed by the "Best of Show" in 2003 for "Spirit of the West", again at the Calgary Exhibition & Stampede Western Art Auction.
