Penny Meagher was born in Sydney, and started drawing from an early age.[3] She was educated at Ascham School, Darling Point and Frensham School, Mittagong. She studied economics at the University of Sydney[3]. In 1952, she went on a trip to London, where she enrolled at the Chelsea School of Art. From 1960 to 1962, she studied at the East Sydney Technical College, and later did a graduate course in painting at the University of NSW.
