Pannepacker’s work in Philadelphia has always blended artmaking with compassion and community. She has spent years working with marginalized people—folks navigating housing insecurity, recovery, grief, or a tough change. Fiber becomes a way to pause, breathe, touch something soft, and find a moment of grounding. Weaving gives structure. Drawing gives immediacy. Her practice moves between those two places, a rhythm of slow/fast, tactile/expressive.
