Pennock studied sculpture at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague from 1962 to 1967.
He then continued his studies with a French scholarship to the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris until 1968. In 1969 he received both the Buys van Hulten price as the Jacob Maris incentive price. Twice he was awarded a scholarship by the Ministry of Culture, Recreation and Social Work in 1973 and in 1979.
Pennock was trained as a traditional sculptor, but quickly turned into an abstract, even minimalist artist.
Pennock lives and works in The Hague. In 1983-1984 together with Kees Verschuren he developed a structure plan for art in a recreation area in the town of Spaarnwoude.
Pennock has been director of the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam from 1979 to 1990. The 1984 sculpture in Rotterdam, working title The River (see image), was placed at the West Blaak not far from the front of the academy building.
