How Jen met Jenny
When I graduated from art school, I adopted the notion that a fine artist belonged to the gallery & the gallery alone.
Then, many years later, I conjured my alter ego: Jenny Pennywood. She became my way through; creative license to lift my signature shapes & colors from canvas and whisk them away to relaxed, washed cotton: a casual, everyday medium where art surely deserves to exist.
I often ask myself, "What am I about? What am I making here?" Not giving it too much attention or organization, I approach each design with an open mind so beauty can emerge & write itself without rule or judgement.
Jenny Pennywood represents the possibility of new forms taking shape so long as rules are met with style & deliberate disregard.
Evoke your inner self & alter ego. Find the one within who gives permission & grant it to yourself. Invite yourself into a space where all are welcome to join in the rhythms of color & pattern or whatever your chosen mediums may be.
