She currently paints in her studio on a farm just outside of Peterborough. She has been painting since 2006. She has attended a variety of workshop revolving around abstract painting in Ontario as well as a recent retreat in New Mexico focusing on intuitive painting. Her work consists of large-scale acrylic paintings on canvas, board and paper, which translate her life experiences into colour, shape and design. Padgett’s work was featured in Mud and Stardust at the AGP in 2016.
