California artist Penny Hanscom paints with fabric. She creates intricate collages from hundreds of pieces of fabric, each one carefully selected for its contribution to the larger composition. She has spent the last decade developing and mastering her unique process.
Penny’s collection at Terrestra consists of original, one-of-a-kind textile art collages influenced by the style of Austrian painter Gustav Klimt (1862-1918). Each of these meticulous works is precisely planned and handmade. Many of the background fabrics are hand-decorated with gold ink.
