Ribbon Art is the use of colorful, curly lines that are repeatedly interwoven to create a reflective image. This style of painting originated in 2021 when Penny C. Wang painted “Hope Rises” for the new Halifax County Courthouse Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.
Penny C. Wang has engaged in gouache, watercolor, acrylic, oil, digital painting, and digital design. She has practiced western and Asian style of painting, and has helped developed Fantacism Abstract Aesthetics theory with Alex Wang. Her masterpieces include Vision, first exhibited at the opening of the Dean’s Gallery Washington State University and the Graphic Poetry entitled No-Mouth Men’s Rebirth, presented at the North American Review Bicentennial Conference. She designed the 2013 CLTA conference bag and sponsored a 400-educator banquet at the Hilton Hotel in Washington D.C.
