Jen Garrido
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Jen Garrido received her BFA from Sonoma State University and her MFA from Mills College in Oakland. Today, she is a working artist, living in San Francisco with her husband Josh Duthie of Chairtastic, their three-year-old daughter, Jemma and little dog Peanut.
Jenny Pennywood
From her light-filled studio, Jen produces a wide range of projects: large-scale oil paintings, watercolor drawings on paper, textiles, custom design for events, and home goods.Jen operates under her ‘alter art persona’ Jenny Pennywood for her graphic design and illustrative work—in order to distinguish from her fine art career—but the inspiration for both personas is the same: color, pattern, line quality, shape, form, composition, move- ment, gesture, texture and the physicality of the materials.

LOVE all Golden products.
Where do you find inspiration?
I find inspiration from so many places but mostly through the “process” – the more I work, the more I find, the more I find makes me want to keep working and trying new things. . . . I’m very inspired by process.

Jen & Lena are teaming up to create See Sun, a new children’s line. Kelly will also be releasing a clothing line, under the name, Uniforma. So excited to see it all!
