2025 Illustration Mentorship

Penelope Dullaghan is an accomplished, acclaimed artist/illustrator with a propensity 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.
