Penny De Young
Penny De Young lives and works outside of Chicago. She and her son, Andres, got into beading as a diversion and need for relazation. They had an excellent response to their work so they began to take the business of beading seriously. Their creations are all original designs. The hunt for beads is a large part of their process. Inveterate travelers, Penny and Andrew search for the rare and unusual treasure wherevever they happen to be. They particularly love the vintage and old beads The beads “feel so good and have been truly rubbed and loved”.
Color, and texture as well as an off center element maake their pieces unusual and fun. We are delighted to have their work at the gallery.
