Penelope Pratley
Emerging Illustrator, writer and educator, Penelope Pratley
spends her days creating wonder, one illustration at a time. Using watercolour,
ink, pencil and mixed media her particular focus is creating picture books. She
adores stories for children and owns far too many pencil cases. Penelope made her illustration debut in
February 2018 with The Art Garden, published by EK Books, and
is currently illustrating books to be published in 2019 and 2020. Living
with a surfer, an inventor, a ballerina, three chickens, a rabbit, an ancient
guinea pig, and a rescued cat, her heart is never short of inspiration. She
only emerges from her garden studio to hunt for chocolate freckles, seek
sunshine and take care of her beautiful family.
