OUR APRIL CLUB MEETING
Our Spring April meeting takes place in a magic garden. A visual artist working in various mediums, an avid gardener and a cook, our hostess is an English woman who has been in Atlanta for 37 years.
In 1972, Penelope studied in Florence sculpture at the academia for three years. She paints beautiful canvases – on the image – which fill with floral beauty her entire house. Penelope worked for the Italian trade center in London for two years in 1980, translating conversations. She came to Atlanta in 1984. Penelope has one daughter named Lucia and is married to a famous physicist. She manages to travel to her beloved England every year for two or three months. Although this is a city setting, her backyard is nothing short of breathtaking, truly a Garden of Eden, lush and filled with hundreds of species, sudden surprises and amazing features, truly something to be seen in person. It was on the botanical garden Mother’s Day tour in 2018, and it is still a work in progress, as most gardens are. Penelope enjoys making new friends and entertain.
