Penny Otwell Yosemite Peaches
Penny Otwell is beloved Mariposa artist with worldwide acclaim. She has lived in Yosemite National Park and its surrounding area for all of her adult life. Her Yosemite adventures began when she worked at the Ahwahnee Hotel, and they have shaped who she is as an artist.
In this episode, Penny shares some of her most memorable adventures as well as her admiration for previous Yosemite artists like Chiura Obata. She is grounded in her own humility just as Obata was. Follow the arc of Penny’s life of art from early days keeping a sketchbook on those adventures to the artist she is today. Let her take you through her process of how she creates a piece of art while she describes which colors are on her palette and what feelings are in her heart.

The concept for the Yosemite Can O Peaches Radio Podcast was developed over the past several years. Each show will be recorded live from the trails of Yosemite National Park. Host John P. DeGrazio will share stories of how Yosemite influenced the lives of local artists, musicians, photographers, explorers, and a variety of other Yosemite experts with a tale to tell. The peaches represent the sweet reward of every exploration in nature. Special thanks to Thomas Wilmer for his kind generosity and mentorship. Tom also recorded the Outro for this show.
