Behind the Scenes
Pennywood Patterns
Jenny Pennywood patterns are rooted in Jen Garrido’s fine art practice, shaped by years of exploring and working with color, rhythm, and form. These are not digital-first designs, each one begins by hand as a painting or drawing in the studio. The artwork is then translated into repeatable forms that become the visual foundation for textiles, accessories, and patterned basics. Every pattern is uniquely playful and down to co-mingle.
Jen Garrido
Meet the Maker
Jenny Pennywood is the alter ego of fine artist Jen Garrido, a painter and designer based in San Francisco. What began as a creative sidestep has grown into a bold, pattern-forward world of textiles, accessories, and artwork.
Working Definition
patterned basics
patterned basics (noun)
- Everyday essentials, such as tee shirts, underwear, and socks, reimagined through color and pattern; functional pieces designed to be worn regularly while carrying visual presence and personality.
- In the context of Jenny Pennywood: garments rooted in original artwork, translated into textiles and produced in small, intentional runs; objects that balance utility and expression, meant to be lived in rather than kept precious.
