Penelope Lenaerts
Penelope’s work is like watching a snapshot of a conversation between objects that have unexpected relationships. She works between sculpture and photography and this dialog between something physical and its image holds a beautiful tension. I appreciate that she works beyond the mold of what I see produced today,in a seemingly effortless display of color and craft. A fresh and fun break into the brain, a sight for sore eyes. — Trisha Rhomberg
Penelope Lenaerts is currently earning her MFA in Visual Arts at California State University, Fullerton after earning a BA in Visual Arts from California State University, Sacramento. Her soft and playful work is inspired by forms in nature and the human body. With her work, she aims to create a dreamy liminal space in which the lines between flora and fauna blur.
