Jenny Pennywood is the visual world created by artist Jen Garrido, where pattern and play take the lead. Jen studied painting, receiving a BFA from Sonoma State and an MFA in Studio Arts from Mills College. In 2008, Jen created the alter-art-ego Jenny Pennywood as a way to explore design outside the expectations of the fine art world.

What began as a business based in hyper-local production of napkins and tea towels, the brand has widened the frame. It’s been a natural evolution of how Jenny Pennywood wants to be in the world, not stuck in the kitchen, but out in the world with people: moving, stretching, walking around.

The growth is grounded in the founding mindset and spark that started Jenny Pennywood. The patterned basics, home textiles, socks, accessories, and artwork continue to carry forward the vivid colors, the playful patterns, and the visual joy that Jen’s alter-art-ego always dreamed of being.
