Pen Huston
Welcome to my new website!
I’ve loved creating ever since I was a child. Art has helped me in so many ways—it brings me into the present moment and the creative flow. Over the years, it has truly been my saviour, helping me overcome anxiety and mental health challenges.
Getting creative helps people in so many different ways. From easing loneliness and anxiety to building social skills, it has a wonderful way of helping people get back on track. For the last 7 years, I ran a beautiful community space in St Leonards on the lovely South Coast called The Art Shack, where I hosted art and craft workshops. It was also the birthplace of the amazing Crisp Packet Project, which I started back in 2019 after a dream where I woke up inside a green crisp packet! Please check out crisppacketproject.com to see our worldwide project.
Sometimes life changes direction, and I have recently relocated to beautiful Scotland, near Newton Stewart. Being out in nature inspires me daily. I’ve just started a new series of watercolour farm animals and am excited to begin selling my artwork and creations online. Please bear with me while I get my collections ready for the online shop!
I'm still deciding on the direction I want to take with future workshops, but for now, I am simply loving the flow of creating for myself and sharing it with you all.
I am also available for commission work. If you would like a bespoke drawing or painting of a beloved pet, your home, or a place close to your heart, please email me for a chat. I also create sculptures using papier-mâché, Modroc, and various mixed media.
Please enjoy looking through my portfolio!
