What People Are Saying About Penny

"I like to think of you as a high priced call girl that the unwashed masses can't afford--like Woody Allen's Whore of Mensa. It's not your fault that people offer $10 blowjobs on the street corner. It's not an insult if somebody doesn't buy your art." -Alexandra J Walters

"Once Penny was making her own silk thread, and a midget appeared. Before he could open his ugly mouth, without looking up, she exclaimed, 'Rumpelstiltskin. Now get the fuck out of here.' Fairytale Over."- Beth Featherstone

"Penny can push a needle through a telephone pole without a thimble." -Shane Blaufuss

"When a man asked Penny, 'What’s the meaning of life?' She looked at him for exactly 3 minutes, completely still, until he cried. That man’s name was Steve Jobs."- Beth Featherstone

gouache sketches for needlepoint

These are scanned in, so they appear more saturated than they actually are. More to come. I've been working on my fall show, so I haven't had much to post of late.

  1. Goddamn, these are good. I meant these are lovely and well made pieces. The draftsmanship is stunningly well done. The subjects are the perfect amount torment, mood and mystery to not be melodramatic.
    I love Penny,
