Hi!

​​I'm Penny, a digital and traditional artist who loves art and storytelling.I enjoy creating work that is funny, whimsical, and colorful. My book "Manoli the Greek Mouse" was awarded the Christopher Award in 2025. I was born in Colombia and then spent my childhood between Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Mexico, and the U.S. I currently live in Boulder Colorado with my husband and two cats. Whenever I'm not drawing, you can find me frolicking in a bookstore, trying to create new recipes in the kitchen, or drinking hot chocolate.I'm always looking for new creative opportunities that will bring more art into the world. ​
