Episode 4: An Interview with Penny Meyer

Based in Las Vegas, Penny has been painting since age 10, working in a large variety of media, including oils, acrylics, watercolors, gouache, pencil, pen, airbrush and linoleum printing. In the hobby, she is renowned for her gold-medal-winning flats. We talk with her about that unique form and much more. You can find more background on Penny here, here and here, and photos of some of the pieces we discuss in this episode below.

Penny mentions several other modelers who inspired her during our chat, and if you’re unfamiliar with them, you can read about and see examples of the work of Mike Taylor here; Ray Lamb here, here, and here; Bill Merklein here and here; Greg DiFranco here and here; Andrei Koribanics here; Bob Sarnowski here, here, and here; Kings Road Roscoe Turner here, and Fletcher Clement here, here, here, here, and here. More info about the Kulmbach show can be found here and here, and if you’re interested in buying flats in the United States, Jack Muldoon’s Little Tin Soldier shop should be your first stop. (It’s online here.)
