Internationally recognized fiber artist Penny Sisto has embraced her interest in Native American history and culture in the exhibit "Heartbeats." Her quilts are rich in color and layered with the expressive faces and figures she includes to convey the story she wants to tell. Penny has exhibited nationally and abroad.
