Meet Penelope Dullaghan

Bio

Penelope Dullaghan is an accomplished, acclaimed artist/illustrator with a penchant for expressing joy through form and color. She works in children’s publishing, editorial, and advertising, and dabbles extravagantly in any medium she can find — especially printmaking, paint & cut paper. No matter the method, though, she creates images that are distinguished by simplicity and guided by curiosity. Penelope works from her studio in Indianapolis, where she lives with her writer husband and artist-in-training teen.


Penelope will be the mentor for the SCBWI-MI 2025 Illustration Mentorship Program. You can learn more about the Illustration Mentorship Program here:
