Who is Jen Garrido?

Jen Garrido,fine artist and creator of Jenny Pennywood

She loves to make things. Beautiful things. Things that take on a new magic or utility as they pass from one person to another.

With Jenny Pennywood, her creative pursuit is, and always has been, a lot of everything: developing unique colorways, finding the right textures, and exploring the exchange between art, form, and the natural world. She is not just going where inspiration takes her, she is a maker, grounded in this idea that creating objects with purpose meant to be well-loved, used, admired, and used some more is what she is intended to do.

Each textile she designs starts on paper with painted lines, each one informing the next until a pattern emerges. A pattern that, in her mind, stretches beyond the textile to live past the confines of the edges.

The colorways she creates are meant to mingle with one another because, just like in nature, she believes there is a blissful alliance between all colors. They are alluring on their own, but when you bring them together, magical stuff happens. Color creates an unexpected come-togetherness of all the elements at play with her textiles, including the deliciously textured linen/cotton, to create a lived-in feel and look that gets better and better with age—whether displayed as art or put to work daily.

Every Jenny Pennywood textile has been lovingly imagined, sewn, and small-batch dyed in California since 2008.
