Check out my interview with Cara Elvira where I discuss my concept and process in creating my works of art.

Hello and thank you for visiting! My name is Rashawn Penister, and I'm a visual artist based in Pine Bluff, AR. This website is the beginning of a new chapter-a space where I can share my work, process, and passion with you. My art explores themes of identity, culture, history, and storytelling through bold colors, layered symbolism, and mixed media techniques. Whether it's a portrait infused with pattern and narrative, or a piece inspired by personal memory and broader social context, my goal is to create work that speaks-quietly or boldly-to the soul. This site will be home to: My latest artworks and projects Behind-the-scenes glimpses into my creative process Upcoming exhibitions and events Stories and reflections that shape my practice I believe art is a powerful way to concept, challenge, and inspire. I'm excited to grow this space and build a community around the things that move us. Thank you for joining me on this journey. Stay curious, stay bold. Rashawn
