Biography
Derek Penix was born on December 29, 1980 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Growing up
Penix was surrounded by artists in his family as his mother and
grandfather painted. Penix did not pursue painting until after
graduating high school. Penix’s mother encouraged him to pursue his
talent and took his paintings down to a local gallery where he sold his
first piece.
Through the years Penix has been inspired by old masters such as Nicolai
Fechin, Sargent and the French Impressionists, but it has been over the
last few years that Penix has been the most influenced by artist Quang
Ho. Penix had the opportunity to take a workshop under Mr. Ho and later
to study briefly with him. Since then, Penix believes his paintings have
grown more in the last two years than in his last ten years of painting.
As an artist Penix gains inspiration from his environment whether that
be at the park, in his home, or traveling abroad. He enjoys the freedom
to paint different subject matter and has learned to push himself to try
new things, even if they are out of his comfort zone.
Penix was recognized in South West Art Magazine's “21 Under 31” artist
competition in 2010. He continues to paint full time as a professional
artist and strives to advance his skill.
