Artist Spotlight: An Interview with Penny Knobel-Besa
Advertisement
As part of our ongoing effort to support and celebrate local creativity, the Ferleman Gallery is proud to present an interview series featuring the local voices behind the art. In each conversation, a local artist will share the story behind their work—their motivations, their artistic journey, and what it means to create within and for the community. These interviews offer a closer look at the people whose visions shape our local culture and provide a platform for an authentic connection between artist and audience.
Join us for an exciting conversation with Penny Knobel-Besa, a prolific visual artist, photographer, and playwright whose creative contributions have left a lasting impact on our community. In this interview, she will share the inspiration behind her diverse work, the personal journey that has shaped her multifaceted creative voice, and how storytelling through image and word deepens connections within the community. From early influences to her current projects, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the dedication, imagination, and resilience that fuel a life devoted to the arts—and how Penny’s passion continues to bridge expression, history, and human experience in our local landscape.
